Pentagon On Blockade In The Caribbean Sea: Seven Oil Ships Deployed Overnight

The U.S. will continue to intercept tankers carrying Venezuelan oil.

Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said that the US will intercept all vessels of the "shadow fleet" that transport Venezuelan oil. According to him, the blockade in the Caribbean Sea is effective and will continue.

This is reported by RBC-Ukraine with reference to his post on social network X.

Parnell said that only in the last 24 hours at least 7 ships have deployed to avoid being intercepted.

"The blockade imposed by the Ministry of War in the Caribbean Sea remains in place and very effective. In the last 24 hours alone, at least seven 'shadow fleet' vessels carrying oil have turned around to avoid interception - because they know we are serious," writes the Pentagon's assistant chiefs of staff for public affairs.

He claims that thanks to U.S. President Donald Trump, the days "when crime ran rampant in our hemisphere are over."

In addition, Sean Parnell announced that the interdiction of vessels will continue and will be carried out at any time.

"The Department of Defense, in conjunction with our interagency partners, will track and intercept all 'shadow fleet' vessels carrying Venezuelan oil at any time and place of our choosing," the Pentagon spokesman summarized.
