World leaders denounce U.S. operation to capture Maduro

"Bombings on Venezuelan territory and the capture of its president cross an unacceptable line."

"These acts represent a most serious affront to Venezuela's sovereignty and yet another extremely dangerous precedent for the entire international community,"

"Attacking countries, in flagrant violation of international law, is the first step toward a world of violence, chaos, and instability, where the law of the strongest prevails over multilateralism."

Bombings on Venezuelan territory and the reported capture of Venezuela's president prompted immediate diplomatic reactions across Latin America and beyond. Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva condemned the attacks as an unacceptable crossing of a line and a serious affront to Venezuela's sovereignty, warning that violations of international law lead to violence and instability. Mexico's foreign ministry called Latin America and the Caribbean a zone of peace and warned that military action jeopardizes regional stability. Colombia expressed deep concern and reiterated commitment to peace, international law, and protection of life. Russia accused the United States of armed aggression, Iran called the attack a flagrant violation of sovereignty, the EU emphasized respect for the UN Charter despite questioning Maduro's legitimacy, Spain urged de-escalation, and Argentina's Javier Milei celebrated the events.
