US says seized four Iranian fuel shipments en route to Venezuela
U.S. President Donald Trump said Iran should not be sending cargoes to Venezuela and added that the seized shipments were bound for Houston, Texas, and suggested they may have already arrived.
Neither the Justice Department nor the State Department specify when, where or how the seizure took place. The latter also did not disclose what steps Hook, whose resignation was announced earlier this week, took to secure the seizure. Venezuela had already paid for the fuel and hence Iran will not lose any revenue from the confiscation, the newspaper reported.
Tensions between Iran and the United States increased last year following a series of incidents involving shipping in and near the Middle East Gulf.
