見出し	US seizes two 'shadow fleet' tankers linked to Venezuelan oil
本文	The United States says it has seized two tankers linked to Venezuelan oil exports in "back-to-back" operations in the North Atlantic and the Caribbean. US forces boarded the Russian-flagged Marinera after a pursuit lasting almost two weeks as it travelled through the waters between Iceland and Scotland. The UK Royal Navy gave logistical support by air and sea. A second tanker - the M/T Sophia - was accused by the US of "conducting illicit activities" and boarded in the Caribbean. The moves come as the US seeks to choke off most exports of Venezuelan crude oil, and just days after its special forces seized Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro in a lightning raid on his residence in Caracas.

なるほどね。

前者は、直後の名詞operationsと一体化した「形容詞語句」ですから、まとまりのある訳語が望まれます。

後者は、模範訳例で確認してください。
