The US Senator, Mike Lee, has confirmed that he had a phone conversation with the US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, regarding the recent developments in Venezuela. According to Lee, Rubio informed him that Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has been apprehended on charges of crimes against humanity and is currently in US custody. This revelation has sparked widespread outrage and condemnation from across the globe, with many questioning the legitimacy of the US actions.
The US had launched a surprise operation in the Venezuelan capital, Caracas, where Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, were detained. The operation was carried out by the US special forces, and Maduro’s detention was confirmed by the US Attorney General, who had earlier announced a $50 million reward for his capture.
However, the US actions have been met with severe criticism from various countries, including Russia, Iran, Colombia, and Cuba. The CIA’s involvement in the operation has been widely reported, with The New York Times breaking the story first.
US President Donald Trump has maintained that Maduro and his wife have been relocated to a safe location outside of Venezuela, and that the operation was well-planned and executed. However, many have questioned the legitimacy of the US actions, with some calling it a clear violation of international law.
The situation in Venezuela remains uncertain, with many speculating about the next steps the country will take after the US operation. The country’s defense headquarters was targeted in the US attack, and many are worried about the potential consequences of the US actions.
As the situation continues to unfold, the international community remains divided on the issue, with some condemning the US actions and others supporting them. The US has maintained that it will not engage in any further actions in Venezuela, but many are skeptical about this claim.
The US operation has also sparked concerns about the potential impact on the region, with many fearing that the US actions could lead to a destabilization of the entire region. The US has maintained that its actions are aimed at restoring democracy in Venezuela, but many are questioning the legitimacy of this claim.
In related news, protests in Iran against rising inflation have seen a decline in intensity, with the protests now limited to a few cities. The US Military Chief, General Mark Milley, has confirmed that the operation against Maduro was the result of months of planning and decades of experience.
The US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, has stated that Maduro was not the legitimate president of Venezuela, and that the $50 million reward announced earlier has been deemed unnecessary. The international community continues to condemn the US actions, with many calling for Maduro’s release and an end to US interference in Venezuelan affairs.
