US Military Reportedly Preparing for Strikes on Drug Labs Inside Venezuela

The US is reported to be preparing for military strikes on drug labs inside Venezuela, and the planned actions may also include drone attacks on major drug traffickers.
The strikes within the Bolivarian socialist state could potentially begin in a matter of weeks.

NBC News reported:
“Strikes inside Venezuela could happen in the next several weeks, but the president has not approved anything yet, the four people said. Two of them and an additional official familiar with the discussions said that the United States’ recent military escalation is in part a result of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro not doing enough, in the administration’s view, to stop the flow of illegal drugs out of his country.”

“Asked for comment, the White House referred NBC News to this previous statement from the president: ‘We’ll see what happens. Venezuela is sending us their gang members, their drug dealers and drugs. It’s not acceptable’. The Pentagon declined to comment.”

Discussions are said to be ongoing between the US and Venezuela through Middle Eastern intermediaries.

“According to a senior administration official, Maduro has spoken to those intermediaries about concessions he would be willing to make to remain in power. The senior administration official would not specify which countries are acting as intermediaries beyond saying that they are allies.”

Venezuela’s Parliament Approves Russian Agreements Amid US Threats: Strengthening Alliances in Challenging Times​

September 27, 2025

Caracas – The Venezuelan National Assembly is currently reviewing a thorough cooperation agreement with Russia, signaling a deepening of the strategic partnership between the two nations. The proposed “Agreement on Strategic Partnership and Cooperation” received initial approval last week and is now subject too further legislative scrutiny before a final vote.

Escalating Tensions with the United States
This strengthening alliance occurs against a backdrop of rising tensions with the United States. The U.S. government has increased naval activity in Caribbean waters, ostensibly to combat drug trafficking. Recent reports indicate that U.S. armed forces have engaged with three vessels allegedly involved in drug smuggling, resulting in 17 fatalities.

Washington has faced criticism for lacking conclusive evidence to support accusations of “narcoterrorism” against Venezuelan officials. The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) has characterized Venezuela as a nation with limited drug production and a minimal role in drug transit.

International Support for Venezuela
Russian officials, including Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, have condemned the increased U.S. military presence and reiterated their backing for Caracas. China has also voiced concerns, criticizing what it describes as “coercive and intimidating tactics” employed by the U.S. government and advocating for a cessation of military threats in the region.

In response to the perceived threat,Venezuela’s armed forces recently conducted large-scale military exercises involving naval,air force,and artillery units. Social media posts showcased military equipment, including Su-30 MK2 fighter jets.
