US Iran War | Cuba Prepares To Receive First Oil Shipment As US Eases Blockade Amid Iran Conflict
Cuba prepared on Monday to receive a sanctioned Russian tanker carrying roughly 730,000 barrels of oil, marking the island’s first such delivery this year. It comes a day after U.S. President Donald Trump told reporters he had “no problem” with a Russian oil tanker delivering relief to the island, which has been brought to its knees by a U.S. oil blockade. The exact location of the Russian-flagged Anatoly Kolodkin remained a subject of conflicting reports Monday morning. While the Russian Transport Ministry and the state-run news portal Cubadebate stated the vessel had already arrived, ship-tracking data showed it was still navigating Cuban waters with an estimated docking time of Tuesday.
