      The oil tanker was captured because it was sanctioned years ago under Biden for illegally delivering black market oil to Iran.

      Iran was sanctioned for their contribution to the invasion and genocide in Ukraine.

      Venezuela is trying to continue to provide black market oil to countries sanctioned for their contribution to the genocide in Ukraine.
