The Trump administration has for the first time confiscated vessels allegedly loaded with Iranian fuel in violation of sanctions, U.S. officials said, as it steps up its campaign of maximum pressure against Tehran

Last month, U.S. federal prosecutors filed suit to seize four tankers’ worth of gasoline Iran was sailing to Venezuela, the latest salvo in the administration’s effort to stifle flows of goods and money that are helping to keep two of its top foes in power.

A FakeNews from a Fake journal...

I think you misspelled 'Acts of war' there.

Iran's Amb. to Venezuela denies the hijacking of Iranian tankers by US & describes it as, 'another lie and psychological warfare propaganda of US imperialism.' 'The ships are neither Iranian nor their ownership or flag has anything to do with Iran.' ★★ ★

The Iranian ships must be carefully inspected. We do not want another explosion like Beirut. It is not piracy .

First: that is theft Second: is fake news

You mean his admin has engaged in piracy.

Maximum Piracy

Viva President. The best President ever.🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏2020✌🏻🇺🇸❤️

Thank you President Trump

La gente es consciente y sabe tienen problemas con las refinerías, pero también saben que la oposición en conjunto con EEUU están afectando a la población, y no se extrañen que linchen a guaido

Lie..

Pompeo: We will use every tool in our toolbox to keep the sanctions on iran come 18 oct. -Can’t get 9 votes in UNSC -Russia/China veto -blow up anything we can in iran -piracy Time is up pig man ! Nov 4th

USA use freedom to justify wars, use national interest to justify stealing

Nothing like a war to pander to voter sympathies

Piracy on the high seas committed by the world’s biggest criminal. Extraordinary that anybody would think that this is acceptable.

👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

I'm violation of __US__ sanctions (you intentionally drop US). no international sanctions.

More sabre rattling from part of Trump against Iran will be one of the less surprising ones of the many 'October Surprises' the White House will be likely throwing for voters.

What would happen if Iran or Venezuela confiscate vessels traveling on international sea? US piracy to hurt the people of these countries. They claim this is against the government but the truth is, this is affecting the population directly. HandsOffVenezuela

Good job‼️ Greetings from a Venezuelan in Venezuela.

🇺🇸👏👍

Who vote for literally rogue state like this?

The rotten US state is the greatest threat to world peace and development. This empire must go.

وول ستريت جورنال: الولايات المتحدة تصادر شحنات الوقود الإيرانية لأول مرة، في انتهاك للعقوبات .. تم الاستيلاء على أربع سفن في الآونة الأخيرة، في الوقت الذي تكثف فيه حملتها لممارسة أقصى قدر من الضغط على طهران، دون استخدام القوة العسكرية

Oh cool, we're pirates now

🥳🥳🥳

The pressure isn’t working....Iran, still doing whatever it wants!

ChuoTorrealba amigo mira esto, hay que salvar a la izquierda en Venezuela.

Gbastidas EstamosUnidosVE 🇺🇸🙏🏻🇻🇪

ستندمون على فعل ذلك... نلتقي في هرمز

MilesTaylor47 calvinfroedge mintzmyer positive for product tankers?

We’re they empty already? “U.S. Officials said”, can be someone getting paid by the government that works WSJ also. More propaganda

ConflictsW Simon85205764 OrlvndoA 👀

Well that's called stealing in the real World.

Outstanding. N.Y. can use the money.

US will get to learn its place in the world when all this will be finished. Genocidal greater Europe.

These were Liberian flagged ships. Not Iranian.

They can test the fuel and other things to see where it came from, but we will never know because they will probably not follow up on this.
