""The United States of America has successfully carried out a large scale strike against Venezuela and its leader, President Nicolas Maduro, who has been, along with his wife, captured and flown out of the country," Trump said in a Truth Social post."
""The U.S. has accused Maduro of running a "narco-state" and rigging an election. The Venezuelan leader, who succeeded Hugo Chavez to take power in 2013, has said Washington wants to take control of its oil reserves, the largest in the world.""
""Iran, an ally of Venezuela, condemned on Saturday a U.S. military attack on Venezuela "as a blatant violation of its national sovereignty and territorial integrity." The Iranian foreign ministry called on the UN Security Council to "act immediately to halt the unlawful aggression" and hold those responsible accountable.""
A large-scale U.S. military strike targeted Venezuela, with claims that President Nicolás Maduro and his wife were captured and flown out of the country. Venezuelan authorities reported explosions, low-flying aircraft over Caracas, and strikes on civilian and military installations across multiple states while compiling information on dead and injured. Venezuela declared it would resist the presence of foreign troops and said civilian areas were struck. The United States accused Maduro of running a "narco-state" and rigging elections, while Venezuela alleges U.S. intent to seize its oil reserves. Iran condemned the attack and urged UN Security Council action. The FAA banned U.S. commercial flights through Venezuelan airspace due to ongoing military activity, and the Pentagon directed comment requests to the White House.
