Venezuela has been at the center of a global storm after the US invasion of the country, with several nations, including Iran, Colombia, and Cuba, condemning the move. The Iranian Foreign Ministry has called for immediate action by the UN Security Council to address the situation and hold those responsible accountable. US President Donald Trump has claimed that the Venezuelan President and his wife have been apprehended and relocated outside the country. However, this claim has been met with widespread skepticism and criticism from global leaders.
In a shocking move, US forces stormed the Venezuelan capital, Caracas, on Saturday, arresting President Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores. The operation, which was reportedly months in the making, has been widely condemned by world leaders, including Russian President Vladimir Putin, who has called for an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council to address the situation.
The US invasion has been criticized as a blatant violation of international law and a threat to regional stability. Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif has described the move as “a clear violation of Venezuela’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.” Iranian officials have also called for the US to be held accountable for its actions.
Meanwhile, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has defended the invasion, claiming that Maduro was not the legitimate President of Venezuela and that the operation was necessary to protect the Venezuelan people. However, this claim has been disputed by many, with some arguing that the US is simply trying to impose its own brand of democracy on the country.
The international community has been quick to condemn the US invasion, with many nations calling for restraint and a peaceful resolution to the crisis. The Russian Foreign Ministry has described the invasion as “a brazen act of aggression” and has called for an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council to address the situation.
