Venezuela Accuses CIA of Foiled Plot as US Bombers Intensify Caribbean Tensions
Venezuela accused the Central Intelligence Agency of a foiled false flag operation targeting the USS Gravely, escalating tensions in the Caribbean amid increased US military presence.
- Venezuelan authorities claimed they dismantled a CIA-financed cell that aimed to execute a false flag attack on the USS Gravely, a warship recently docked in Trinidad and Tobago.
- The USS Gravely, a guided-missile destroyer, was positioned within striking distance of Caracas, raising alarms as Washington intensified military operations in the Caribbean region.
- President Nicolás Maduros government alleged that the operation was orchestrated by the Central Intelligence Agency to justify further aggression against Venezuela amidst ongoing tensions with the US.
Why It Matters
This incident highlights escalating military tensions between Washington and Caracas, reflecting broader geopolitical struggles in the Caribbean. As the US increases its military posture, Venezuelas accusations could further complicate international relations and regional stability.
