This Wednesday, the Foreign Minister of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Jorge Arreaza, denounced that the United States government, in a waste of pride, has sanctioned the captains of the 5 Iranian ships that transported fuel to Venezuela.
"In a display of hubris, @SecPompeo announces sanctions against the captains of the five Iranian vessels that transported gasoline to Venezuela. Further evidence of the hatred Trump's hawks display against ALL Venezuelans, regardless of their political views. Matters for the International Criminal Court," reads the foreign minister's message on his Twitter account.
Through his social networks, the Minister of Popular Power for Foreign Relations pointed out that “this is another proof of the hatred of Trump's hawks against all Venezuelans, beyond their political positions. Elements for the International Criminal Court (ICC). "
In this regard, Arreaza stressed that this adds to the evidentiary elements that will be presented to the ICC.
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the government of President Donald Trump will impose sanctions on five ship captains for bringing fuel to Venezuela, and affirmed that Washington will continue to support the self-proclaimed Juan Guaidó.
It is important to remember that last May, Iran sent five ships loaded with 1,53 million barrels of gasoline and additives to Venezuela, to alleviate the great fuel shortage that the country suffers from the coercive measures imposed by the United States.
