US Preparing Possible Attack Plans Inside Venezuela, NBC Reports

  • The U.S. military recently struck at least three Venezuelan boats carrying narcotics and deployed eight warships and F-35 jets near Venezuela in an anti-drug operation.
  • The strikes followed accusations by the Trump administration that Venezuela's Maduro regime traffics drugs and gang members into the U.S., a claim Maduro denies while Washington rejects his appeals for dialogue.
  • Plans under discussion include drone strikes targeting drug traffickers and labs inside Venezuela, possibly escalating to attacks within Venezuelan territory within weeks.
  • Trump asserted that operations would persist in the Caribbean waters claimed by the U.S., while officials confirmed at least 17 fatalities resulting from strikes, during which drugs were discovered in the surrounding water.
  • The military actions have intensified U.S. pressure on Maduro but have not weakened his control, while analysts warn attacks on Venezuelan soil risk diplomatic fallout and increased local resistance.
