So far, the US has refrained from touching tankers that are sailing under the Russian flag.

Sadly, according to Lavrov, the EU are using the ukrainians(or they themselves) to attack them:

For some reason, no one is concerned about freedom of navigation in the Mediterranean or the Baltic Sea, where unlawful seizures of tankers have become more frequent. In the Mediterranean and the Black Sea, Ukrainian terrorists have attacked tankers. One of them - Arctic Metagas - has almost sunk and is drifting in the Mediterranean. Recently, a Greek tanker came under attack in the Black Sea. The TurkStream and Blue Stream gas pipeline infrastructure has been targeted as well.

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.
