On Wednesday, Dec. 10, 2025, US President Donald Trump announced that the United States had seized a large oil tanker near Venezuela, asserting the move was based on "sufficient cause".
Hours later, US Attorney General Pam Bondi posted declassified footage of the operation on social media, giving the public a closer look at the enforcement action.
Details about the vessel's flag, cargo, and crew remain undisclosed. Officials have not yet released full legal documentation to substantiate the president's claim.
The release of the footage has already sparked discussions on transparency and the strategic impact of such maritime operations. Global audiences are now awaiting further updates from US authorities.
