Threat to Iranian Ships</strong></a></p>
</blockquote>
<p>The vessel is being escorted by the Venezuelan Oceanic
Patrol Yekuana, after it was located in international
waters.</p>
<p>Forest is heading to the port of the El Palito
refinery, located in the municipality of Puerto Cabello,
on the coast of the state of Carabobo. </p>
<p>"Forest and the Yekuana Oceanic Patrol are near
Margarita Islands and are heading to El Palito," teleSUR
correspondent Madelein Garcia recently reported.</p>
<p><strong>"The first Iranian ship now in the El Palito
refinery, in Venezuela. We follow the story."</strong>
</p>
<p>This is the second Iranian tanker to reach Venezuelan
waters for the purpose of delivering gasoline. </p>
<p>Iran's gesture of solidarity strengthens diplomatic
relations and trade agreements between the two
countries.</p>
<p>The first Iranian fuel tanker, Fortune, arrived in
Venezuelan territorial waters on Saturday night, despite
the continuous U.S. threats to prevent it.</p>
<p>Forest and Fortune are two of the five oil tankers that
Iran has sent to supply the Latin American country with
fuel. </p>
<p>The ships Petunia, Faxon and Clavel continue their
course to Venezuela and are expected to arrive in the
country soon.</p>
