Argentina takes fight with UK over Falklands’ oil industry to international tribunal

Argentina has asked an international maritime tribunal to halt oil development off the disputed Falkland Islands. The administration of President Javier Milei announced the legal action to target the archipelago's first commercial oil project, escalating a sovereignty dispute with the United Kingdom. Buenos Aires calls the British-controlled territory the Malvinas. In response to the growing friction, the UK asked Interpol to reject what it termed politically motivated requests for arrests connected to the offshore oil industry, while British soldiers recently rehearsed a landing exercise recalling the 1982 war.
