Global tensions surge after the U.S. Navy seizes another oil tanker linked to Russia and Venezuela, triggering furious reactions from both Moscow and Beijing. The tanker Olina, part of a shadow fleet accused of evading sanctions and funding illicit activities, was intercepted in the Caribbean—marking the fifth seizure since the capture of Nicolás Maduro.

Russia has condemned the move as an illegal act of force, while China accuses Washington of bullying that threatens its oil supply. Analysts now warn the escalating tanker seizures could spiral into a direct naval confrontation if Russian or Chinese warships begin esc@rting oil shipments. With nearly 40% of Venezuela’s tanker fleet targeted, the risk of open conflict at sea is rapidly rising.
