Attorney General Pam Bondi<\/a> released video footage Wednesday of U.S. forces seizing a Venezuelan crude oil tanker, a bold move last ordered more than a decade ago.<\/p>\n

Video footage showed FBI and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agents, along with U.S. Coast Guard members, with support from the Department of War, executing a precise seizure of the tanker, which was being used to move sanctioned oil from Venezuela and Iran.<\/p>\n

Armed personnel in tactical gear were seen rappelling from a helicopter above the vessel off the Venezuelan coast Wednesday, landing on the deck of the ship and entering with weapons drawn.<\/p>\n

“For multiple years, the oil tanker has been sanctioned by the United States<\/a> due to its involvement in an illicit oil shipping network supporting foreign terrorist organizations,” Bondi wrote in a statement on X. “This seizure, completed off the coast of Venezuela, was conducted safely and securely\u2014and our investigation alongside the Department of Homeland Security to prevent the transport of sanctioned oil continues.”<\/p>\n

DEMOCRATS ESCALATE WAR-CRIME ACCUSATIONS AS WHITE HOUSE CALLS \u2018INNOCENT FISHERMAN\u2019 THE NEW \u2018MARYLAND MAN\u2019 HOAX<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

FBI Director Kash Patel said in an X post the administration\u2019s “efforts to crush FTO\u2019s” and cut off their resources will “continue day and night.”<\/p>\n

Homeland Security Sec. Kristi Noem added, “If you threaten our nation, or break the law, there is no place on land or sea where we won\u2019t find you. Thank you to our brave service members. America FIRST.”<\/p>\n

President Donald Trump<\/a> noted at the White House on Wednesday that the tanker was the “largest one ever seized action” and said “other things are happening.”<\/p>\n

“You’ll be seeing that later,” Trump said. “And you’ll be talking about that later with some other people.”<\/p>\n

The Navy confirmed to Fox News on Wednesday that 15% of U.S.-deployed Navy ships are currently in the Caribbean region.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It is unclear what percentage of U.S. Naval assets are in the region.<\/p>\n

MARCO RUBIO SAYS TRUMP WILL NOT BE ‘SUCKERED’ BY MADURO LIKE BIDEN<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The last time the public was made aware of the U.S. military seizing a foreign oil tanker was in 2014, when Navy SEALs<\/a> boarded and took over a ship previously seized by three armed men at a Libyan port, who were attempting to sell the nationalized Libyan oil on the black market, Fox News Digital previously reported.<\/p>\n

About 30 men from Navy SEAL team 2 embarked from the USS Roosevelt, using inflatable boats and ladders to get on board the MV Morning Glory oil tanker, and detained the rebels.<\/p>\n

There were no casualties during the 2014 mission, which was carried out on orders from former President Barack Obama<\/a> in international waters southeast of Cyprus at the request of the Libyan and Cypriot governments.<\/p>\n

The administration’s latest action is expected to further strain ties with Venezuelan leader Nicol\u00e1s Maduro\u2019s government<\/a>, already under sweeping U.S. oil sanctions, and follows 22 U.S. strikes on alleged narcotraffickers near Venezuela that have killed 87 people.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Trump administration<\/a> is also weighing land strikes to increase pressure on Maduro, whom the administration deems Venezuela\u2019s illegitimate leader, as recent talks between the two countries failed to produce a deal for his exit.<\/p>\n

The White House<\/a> could not immediately be reached for comment.<\/p>\n
