Venezuela is urging the United Nations Security Council to demand an immediate stop to U.S. military operations in the Caribbean, citing growing threats to regional stability.
Foreign Minister Yvan Gil highlighted this call in a Telegram post on Friday, sharing a video of Venezuela’s UN representative, Alexander Yanez, delivering a strong speech. Yanez spoke on behalf of President Nicolas Maduro, warning that Venezuela faces ongoing “systemic harassment” from Washington. This includes smear campaigns, harsh unilateral sanctions, and the U.S. refusing to recognize Venezuela’s key institutions.
Things have heated up, Yanez said, with U.S. naval, air, and ground forces now deploying in the Caribbean— including a nuclear submarine. He called these moves a direct violation of the UN Charter and pointed to U.S. reports mentioning “extrajudicial executions” in the area. Venezuela wants the UN to condemn these actions, which it says endanger peace in the South American nation and the broader region.
Just a few days earlier, on September 15, Maduro announced that the U.S. has cut off all communication channels with Venezuela amid what he described as “persistent aggression.” Speaking at a press conference in Caracas, Maduro blamed the breakdown on threats and blackmail from the U.S. government.
“We’ve managed to keep the peace despite these provocations,” Maduro told reporters. He noted that for the past five weeks, Venezuela has dealt with major challenges while fighting to hold onto stability. At the same time, the country is standing up for its right to defend itself against political, diplomatic, and even potential military attacks from the U.S.
This latest clash underscores ongoing U.S.-Venezuela tensions, fueled by sanctions and disputes over Venezuelan leadership.
