UK military supported US operation to seize tanker in Atlantic with air surveillance and navy ship, Ministry of Defence says.
The ship is accused of breaking US sanctions and shipping Iranian oil – it’s historically transported Venezuelan crude oil but reports say it’s empty at the moment.
"This action formed part of global efforts to crack down on sanctions busting", UK Defence Secretary John Healey MP said.
"This ship, with a nefarious history, is part of a Russian-Iranian axis of sanctions evasion which is fuelling terrorism, conflict, and misery from the Middle East to Ukraine", he added.
