Payam Javan: In a bold move that underscores President Trump’s unwavering commitment to national security and dismantling global terror networks, the FBI and Department of Homeland Security, alongside key partners, executed a brilliant seizure of an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela. As confirmed by Kash Patel, this vessel was no ordinary ship; it was a crucial cog in an illicit shipping network, funneling sanctioned oil from Venezuela and Iran directly to foreign terrorist organizations. This decisive action is a clear message: America will not stand idly by while our enemies fund their operations on the backs of American sanctions.
Predictably, the usual suspects immediately cried foul. The socialist Venezuelan regime, clearly rattled, issued baseless accusations of “blatant theft” and “international piracy,” while Iran’s embassy joined the chorus of condemnation, feigning outrage over “violations of international laws.” This is nothing more than the desperate wail of regimes caught red-handed, exposed for their complicity in funding terror and destabilizing the region. Their crocodile tears won’t fool patriotic Americans who understand the vital importance of cutting off these illicit lifelines.
President Trump himself confirmed this powerful operation, stating unequivocally that a “large tanker” had been seized, sending a clear signal of American resolve. This isn’t some deep-state plot or a manufactured crisis; this is direct action from a Commander-in-Chief dedicated to protecting our nation. With the Cartel de los Soles, effectively run by Maduro, declared a foreign terrorist organization and Secretary of State Marco Rubio exposing Venezuela as a cocaine transshipment hub, the administration’s strategy is crystal clear: we are targeting the very infrastructure of global crime and terror, no matter where it hides.
This operation is a testament to the Trump administration’s ‘America First’ approach, prioritizing the safety and security of our citizens above all else. It’s a stark contrast to previous administrations that allowed such illicit activities to fester. With ongoing military buildups and warnings of further decisive actions against drug trafficking nations, President Trump is once again demonstrating that he is a leader who doesn’t just talk tough, he acts tough. The world is watching as America reasserts its strength, protecting our borders and crushing those who seek to harm us.
