US Pursuing Third Oil Tanker Near Venezuela, Officials Say

In a move that has raised concerns about the escalating tensions between the US and Venezuela, officials have confirmed that the US is pursuing a third oil tanker near the Venezuelan coast.

According to a report by Investing.com, the US has intercepted another vessel near Venezuela, with officials stating that the tanker is suspected of carrying oil from Venezuela.

The development comes as the US has been increasing its pressure on Venezuela, with the US government imposing sanctions on the country's oil industry.

The US has been trying to prevent Venezuela from exporting oil, which is a major source of revenue for the country.

The move has been seen as a major escalation of the tensions between the US and Venezuela, and has raised concerns about the potential for conflict in the region.

The US has been working with its allies to try to pressure Venezuela into making concessions, but so far, the country has refused to budge.

The situation remains tense, with both sides showing no signs of backing down.
