The Pentagon released a video on December 30, 2025, between 7:46 PM and 8:16 PM UTC, showing a joint operation by the Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security, and Department of Justice seizing a sanctioned ship linked to Venezuela, according to @EmmaRincon on X at https://x.com/EmmaRincon/status/2006053132992761863. This seizure operation was depicted in the newly released Pentagon video shared in the past 30 minutes, highlighting coordinated efforts among the three U.S. departments targeting the Venezuelan-linked vessel, as stated by @EmmaRincon. The development follows U.S. Southern Command's announcement earlier on December 30 of readiness to support high seas operations under #OpSouthernSpear at the direction of Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, according to prior statements.
