What we know about the US seizure of a Russian-flagged oil tanker

The aging, rusting tanker, originally called the Bella 1, was sanctioned by the US in 2024 for operating within a “shadow fleet” of tankers transporting illicit Iranian oil.

Last month the US Coast Guard attempted to seize the vessel while it was heading to Venezuela to pick up oil, then operating under the flag of Guyana. But the ship’s crew refused to be boarded and made an abrupt turn into the Atlantic.

The Bella 1’s crew later painted a Russian flag on its side, and it appeared in a Russian shipping register under a new name, the Marinera.

US officials later said Moscow had dispatched a submarine to escort the vessel as it sailed toward Europe, threatening a possible confrontation between Washington and the Kremlin.

The US repositioned military assets to the UK ahead of seizing the tanker

V-22 Osprey aircraft were active in the UK over the past several days, with flight data appearing to show them running training missions in the UK out of Fairford air base. And two AC-130 gunships were seen arriving at Mildenhall base in the UK on Sunday.

The Bella 1 was seized Wednesday roughly 190 miles off the southern coast of Iceland in the northern Atlantic Ocean, according to ship-tracking website MarineTraffic. The site shows the tanker taking a sharp turn south around the time that it was reported seized.

Russia’s Transport Ministry confirmed that it lost contact with the tanker after US forces boarded the ship at 7 a.m. ET.

US Navy SEALs were among the forces that boarded the tanker after they were transported to the ship by the US Army’s 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment, also known as the “night stalkers,” according to two people briefed on the operation.

The UK defense ministry also said it helped with the seizure “following a US request for assistance.”

Russia condemned the Bella 1’s seizure, with its transport ministry arguing “no state has the right to use force against vessels that are properly registered in the jurisdictions of other nations” under the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, a treaty which the US has not signed.

The country’s Foreign Ministry demanded that the US return the Russian citizens aboard “to their homeland,” according to the Russian state news agency TASS.

TASS also reported Russian lawmaker Leonid Slutsky called the US seizure of the vessel an act of “21st-century piracy” which violates international law.

Russian leader Vladimir Putin has yet to comment on the seizure.

There will be no invasion as there is really no one to invade other than a few towns. If Trump can buy it entirely he will but it's more likely that the U.S. will pay Denmark to let us "rent" some space there to put a military base.

[Donny]

Trump won´t "invade" Greenland because US troops are already there but his sudden claims that it´s going to be a "US territory" regardless is for me arrogant & it will cause more dislike towards the USA
of course people on here will say , "America first fuck the EU or NATO"
I am not a Trump hater but he is on power trip that might just be his downfall
I think he´ll make a peaceful deal & get his way ( for now ).....

The U.S. has had a military base there for many decades with the right to do pretty much anything.
Also a mining concession.

Wrong. US always uses cover ups like instilling democracy, as in Venezuela or Iraq and Afghanistan, or as for DK/Greenland "needing for strategic location" when really just want to take natural resources. Greenland is rich in minerals. and US probably made oil findings there as well. They really made no secret about wanting it for that.

[Kwon]

Just let Trump take all minerals and oil and build a Military Base or three there, its not like we Swedes care about Greenland anyway

A miniscule amount of Danish Citizens may care, but alas

Denmark can try

[Van_Bilderass]

If Trump wants to invade Denmark I think it needs to be a war.

US vs EU

That war would lead to millions of casualties on both sides but so be it.

George Galloway says if the US takes Greenland, Greenland and Europe will do jack and shit and that's probably true. It's causing a lot of angst among Europeans because they know they won't/can't do anything about it. He cited some previous cowardly stances Denmark has taken which I forgot just now Scott Ritter said it couldn't happen to better target - meaning he would be somewhat gleeful despite thinking it would be outrageous behavior on Trump's part; he also had something against Denmark.

I watched some analysts like Brian Berletic say it's a strategic location for fighting Russia.

“Greenland’s seizure by the US allows the US to not only expand its maritime blockade to target the Northern Sea Route, it also allows the US to fully implement its “division of labor” in Europe regarding its continued proxy war with Russia from a relatively safe distance.”

Depends on how much support from Nato Denmark gets. If Nato deploys alot of troops and its naval fleet to Greenland it could deter. US would not be able to take it on without starting a full on war against Nato.

Nato minus US is not as weak as americans think. It's 30 nations in Europe gathered military power.



If Nato went full on against US it would not be an easy battle for US without severe losses.

If it goes bad for US they could use their nukes. That is the thing imo

Forget US vs Rest of NATO as that's not gonna happen. But what could potentially happen is the US pulls out of NATO and NATO can't risk this with Russia currently doing what they are doing.

It's pretty simple for the Danes/Europe. Give up Greenland and chill or prepare for a very serious confrontation with Russia.

Nato needs the US.

The US does not need Nato.

Nato is peeing their pants regarding Russia atm

They will concede Greenland

[oldgolds]

At face value and initial gut feeling I’m certainly not okay with this. Capturing a sitting president of another country? What’s next? Severely disappointed in this situation.

He's not the sitting president...The election was rigged according to every reputable source....He's the leader of a drug cartel that took over a country...

Russian Spetsnaz should have kidnapped Biden then...?

The US dropped the cartel claim. No reputable source says VZ was a big drug exporter to the US. It was supposed to be about Fentanyl, each boatload killed 25K Americans according to Trump, but suddenly they forgot about that claim.
