That's the part I'm curious about as well. As far as I know it doesn't have an escort. So it could be Russia daring the US to seize their tanker. So far, the US has refrained from touching tankers that are sailing under the Russian flag. They've seized tankers carrying Russian oil before, but they were registered in other countries. It'll be interesting to see what the Americans do here.
Sadly, according to Lavrov, the EU are using the ukrainians(or they themselves) to attack them:

yeah weird how that works eh
I speculate that this charade from the EU vassals and the other occupied global south countries will soon end. Right now, it appears to be a reality that plenty of Western countries are joining in the weaponization of oil routes which will cause pain to their own economies.
With the closure of the Hormuz Straight, lots of Western countries and bootlickers like India are feeling the pain which will push them to either break ranks with the US or to collapse.
It will happen very soon and, if it does, a way to provide oil to Cuba will appear even from Latin America. Right now, the US is slowly easing the naval blockade by moving assets from the Caribbean to the Gulf Countries. This will allow plenty of opportunities for oil delivery.
Yeah, if Cuba can hold out for a few more months, we may be living in a whole different world by then.
The previous tanker sent to Cuba to break the blockade was not Russian-flagged?
I don't think so, but I could be wrong.
