The Venezuelan patrol vessel "Guaiqueri" met with the Iranian-flagged oil tanker "Clavel" in the Caribbean sea, on Sunday, as the Guaiqueri escorted the Iranian tanker to the Venezuelan coast in defiance of United States sanctions.
Officers on board the Guaiqueri can be seen waiting for the Clavel at it appears over the horizon.
The Clavel is the last of five Iranian oil tankers bringing gasoline to Venezuela, amid fuel shortages. Though Venezuela has some of the largest oil reserves in the world, refining its superheavy crude relied on diluent imported from the US until its suspension in recent months, in sanctions intended to put pressure on Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.
