The US military has seized another oil tanker at sea in support of Donald Trump’s sanctions against Venezuela, military officials announced on Thursday.

Veronica, a crude oil tanker that marine records suggest is sailing under a Guyanese flag, was boarded in a pre-dawn action by US marines and sailors, the US Southern Command said in a post on social media.

The operation was conducted in cooperation with the US Coast Guard, homeland security department and justice department, the post said. It included blurry, black-and-white aerial footage appearing to show service members descending on to the tanker’s deck from a helicopter.

Germany and Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) on Sunday signed a $3.1 billion contract expanding the prior Arrow 3 defense system from the $3.5 billion initial Arrow contract signed between the parties two years ago.

The contract signing follows the December 17 approval of the deal by the German Bundestag and brings the total earnings on the two deals to over $6.5 billion, representing the largest Israeli defense export deal ever.

The announcement comes only one month after the initial Arrow 3 battery Israel provided to Germany was deployed at a major ceremony at Holzdorf Air Force Base, attended by The Jerusalem Post.

BRUSSELS (AP) — President Donald Trump’s repeated threats to seize control of Greenland are straining relations with U.S. allies in NATO and have sparked a warning that doing so by force could spell the end of the world’s biggest security alliance.

Tensions have routinely spiked among some of NATO’s members over the decades, notably between neighbors Greece and Turkey. But it would set a dangerous precedent should its most powerful country, the United States, annex the territory of another ally.

“One way or the other, we’re going to have Greenland,” Trump reaffirmed on Sunday. The White House has not ruled out the use of military force. Trump said he wants to prevent Russia or China from taking over and that making a deal would be “easier.”

Greenland is a semi-autonomous island that is part of the Danish realm. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has warned that “if the United States chooses to attack another NATO country militarily, then everything stops … including our NATO.”

The truck also says "No Mullah". Meaning it is against the current Iranian government but also opposes replacing it with a Shah.

Edit: Additional context: Pro-Israel/Shah rioters ATTACKED the truck and it had to flee from them. Start of the event can be seen here https://files.catbox.moe/x63p08.mp4
