## Caption

The US says it has seized a Russian-flagged vessel in the North Atlantic linked to Venezuelan oil.
 
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.
 
A second tanker has also been apprehended in the Caribbean in the “back-to-back” boarding of two “ghost fleet” ships, the US said.
