Something doesn’t compute here. What exactly is the legal basis for the U.S. to intercept foreign vessels like this in international waters?

Hmmmm. May be time for a Trump Doctrine.

Presumably the transport (sale) of oil from Iran violates the sanctions in place.

Our sanctions against those nations, of which we have made the world very clear.

My thought exactly. I might don’t like Iran and Venezuela but since both don’t trade with US how is it ant of US business? Is it 17th century or an era of Punic wars?
