Iran & Venezuela Hail Victorious 'Defiance' Over US As 1st Tanker Is Escorted By Maduro Forces
The first among five Iranian fuel-laden tankers has arrived in gasoline-starved Venezuela amid US threats to intervene against the 'sanctions-busting' activity by two official Washington enemies.
Reuters reports: "The tanker, named Fortune, reached the country’s waters at around 7:40 p.m. local time (1140 GMT) after passing north of the neighboring dual-island Caribbean nation of Trinidad and Tobago, according to vessel tracking data from Refinitiv Eikon."
Multiple tanker tracking monitoring sites have confirmed the arrival of the 'Fortune' off Venezuela's coast last Saturday.
Maduro's economy vice president and recently named oil minister celebrated on Twitter: “The ships from the fraternal Islamic Republic of Iran are now in our exclusive economic zone,” amid broader claims of 'victory' on state media.
And per Reuters: "Venezuelan state television showed images of a navy ship and aircraft preparing to meet it."
The other trailing tankers are also expected to enter Venezuela's Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), or within 200 miles of the coast, in the coming days.

The FED ponzi scheme FRN is no longer the "reserve currency" of the world for oil. 
The empire of lies is crumbling.
