🥁Argentina has escalated its long-running sovereignty dispute with Britain by filing a criminal complaint against Israeli energy company Navitas Petroleum and executives involved in oil exploration near the Falkland Islands.
Buenos Aires says the companies are operating under British-issued licences without Argentina’s approval, calling the drilling and resource extraction in the disputed waters illegal under Argentine law.
The Falklands, known as Las Malvinas in Argentina, have been claimed by both countries for decades and were the focus of the 1982 war. The latest clash over the Sea Lion offshore oil project has added fresh tension to the decades-old territorial dispute.
