Washington's attempts to board the oil tanker Bella 1 in the Atlantic have been complicated by the crew painting a Russian flag on the ship. The tanker has evaded the Coast Guard for over 10 days and claims to operate under Russian authority. A court order for seizure exists due to the tanker's history of transporting Iranian crude, but the flag complicates enforcement. The vessel, owned by Turkey-based Louis Marine Shipholding Enterprises, has changed course towards Iceland or Greenland after initially declaring Curaçao as its destination. US President Trump stated that authorities will capture the tanker amidst heightened military presence in the region. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
