The US Department of Justice released a 45-second video showing the US military seizing an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela. The footage captures helicopters approaching the tanker as US troops board the vessel. The operation was led by the US Coast Guard and announced by President Donald Trump on Wednesday. US Attorney General Pam Bondi shared the video online, saying the tanker was used to transport sanctioned oil from Venezuela and Iran. Retired US Marine Corps Colonel Mark Cancian told the BBC, "these operations usually unfold, 'rarely' involving any violence."
