'No state has right ...': Russia furious over US seizing oil tanker; cites maritime law
US forces seized a Russian-flagged oil tanker, the Marinera, in the North Atlantic, citing violations of US sanctions. Russia vehemently condemned the action, asserting it lacked legal basis and violated freedom of navigation on the high seas. The tanker, previously sanctioned and renamed, had reportedly evaded a US blockade near Venezuela.
