Venezuela: GB, oil tanker part of Russia-Iran axis fueling terrorism

Milan, Jan. 7 (LaPresse) – UK Defense Secretary John Healey commented on British support for the United States in the seizure of the Russian tanker: “Today, our British Armed Forces demonstrated competence and professionalism in supporting the US interception of the Bella 1 vessel as it was traveling to Russia. This action is part of global efforts to crack down on sanctions evasion.“ This was reported by Sky News. Healey also noted that the ship had a ”sinister history“ and was ”part of a Russian-Iranian sanctions evasion axis that is fueling terrorism, conflict, and misery from the Middle East to Ukraine.” Regarding the relationship with the United States, she added that it is “an essential part of our security.” “Today’s operation, executed smoothly, demonstrates how well it works in practice,” Healey concluded.
