Caracas says the latest tanker seizure is part of Washington\u2019s regime-change push to seize the country\u2019s oil<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong>Venezuela has condemned the seizure of another oil tanker off its shores, accusing the US of carrying out an “act of piracy”<\/em> as part of a broader campaign to overthrow the government in Caracas and seize the country’s vast energy resources.<\/p>\n In an official statement released on Saturday, the Venezuelan Foreign Ministry denounced what it described as the “theft and hijacking”<\/em> of a private vessel transporting Venezuelan oil in international waters, and accused US military personnel of the “forced disappearance”<\/em> of its crew.<\/p>\n Caracas said the seizure was not an isolated incident, but part of what it called a “colonialist model”<\/em> being imposed by Washington to strip Venezuela of its sovereignty and natural wealth. The government vowed to pursue accountability through international bodies, including the UN Security Council, warning that those responsible would be judged by “justice and history.”<\/em><\/p>\n \n Read more<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced earlier on Saturday that US forces seized the tanker in a predawn operation, an action she framed as enforcement against Venezuelan oil exports. The move comes days after President Donald Trump ordered what he described as a “total and complete”<\/em> blockade of “sanctioned”<\/em> tankers entering and leaving Venezuela.<\/p>\n Earlier this week, President Nicolas Maduro accused Washington of seeking to install a “puppet government”<\/em> that would surrender Venezuela’s constitution, sovereignty, and resources. He described the blockade and vessel seizures as “corsair tactics”<\/em> and “diplomacy of barbarism.”<\/em><\/p>\n
