Israeli authorities have decided to intercept tankers carrying oil from Iran to Syria, including those carrying Russian oil..
This decision is due to the fact that after refining oil in Syria, the proceeds are used by Tehran to finance terrorist organizations such as Hamas and Hezbollah, which pose a significant threat to Israel's security.
According to the agency S&P Global Commodity Insightswhich it published on August 9, 2024, refers to 18 tankers that regularly switch off their transponders to hide their location. Five of these vessels are already under Western sanctions.
S&P Global Commodity Insights — an American information agency that specializes in publishing oil price quotes. It is recognized as one of the two most influential quotation agencies in the global oil and oil products market.
This move by Israel is especially important against the backdrop of the current geopolitical situation, when Russia and Iran continue their aggressive actions in various regions of the world. Russia, supporting Iran and its proxy forces, is actively pursuing a policy aimed at weakening the West's position and strengthening its influence in the Middle East.
At the same time, Russia faces international sanctions imposed for its actions against Ukraine. The importance of sanctions is that they not only constrain the Russian economy, but also put pressure on its allies, such as Iran, which use oil sales to finance destabilizing actions in the region.
For Israel, this decision is of strategic importance. By intercepting oil supplies, Israel is trying to disrupt financial flows that support terrorist groups, which could strengthen the country’s security. It is also a signal to the international community about the importance of a tougher policy toward Russia and its allies, who continue to threaten global security and stability.
