00:00The U.S. just seized the largest oil tanker ever, right off Venezuela's coast.
00:04But why?
00:05And what happens next could shake global tensions even more.
00:09President Trump confirmed the dramatic move.
00:11A massive tanker called the Skipper was intercepted by U.S. forces.
00:15Armed agents rappelled onto the ship from helicopters.
00:19The ship was sanctioned years ago for secretly shipping oil
00:22to support terrorist groups linked to Iran and Venezuela.
00:25Authorities say it was hiding its location using satellite spoofing
00:29and flying a fake flag from Guyana.
00:31Its destination? Cuba. And eventually Asia.
00:34But now the U.S. has it.
00:36And Trump simply said, we keep it, I guess.
00:39This comes as Venezuela's opposition leader flees the country.
00:43And as the U.S. ramps up its pressure on Maduro
00:45with troops, strikes, and more seizures likely coming.
00:48Venezuela has slammed the act as international piracy.
00:52And now both Cuba and Venezuela are threatening international action.
00:56This tanker could be the first domino in a much bigger clash.
01:00And with oil, power, and politics at stake,
01:03the storm's just getting started.
