We are still in the dark about the US military operation in Iran. Meanwhile, four US officials have said that they are going to start a new operation again. Hearing about their operation, thousands of questions have arisen in the minds of many. Let's know the story behind the comments of the four US officials.
New campaign by US officials
The United States is preparing to launch a new type of operation focused on Venezuela, four US officials told Reuters. The decision comes as the Trump administration steps up pressure on the government of President Nicolas Maduro. Reuters could not confirm the exact timing or scope of the new operation. It is not even clear whether US President Donald Trump has made a final decision. Speculation about possible steps has been growing in recent weeks, as the United States has deployed its military to the Caribbean and relations between Washington and Caracas have worsened.
Two of the four US officials said the first phase of the new operation against Maduro could be a covert military operation. All four spoke on condition of anonymity because the matter is highly sensitive.

All four spoke on condition of anonymity because the matter is highly sensitive. The Pentagon sent a request for comment to the White House. The CIA declined to comment.
A senior White House official said on Saturday that “nothing is being ruled out” in Venezuela. “As president of the United States, Trump is prepared to use all the powers of the United States, if necessary, to stop drugs from entering our country and to bring those responsible to justice,” the official said. The Trump administration is considering a range of options in Venezuela, which it says is fueling the flow of illegal drugs that are killing people in the United States. Maduro has denied the allegations.
Two US officials told Reuters that options under consideration could include ousting Maduro. Maduro, in power since 2013, has accused Trump of trying to remove him and said the Venezuelan people and military would resist such an attempt. Maduro, who turns 63 on Sunday, appeared at the main theater in Caracas on Sunday to premiere a TV series about his life. The United States has been increasing its military presence in the Caribbean for months.
Trump has already authorized a covert operation by the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in Venezuela. On Friday, the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) warned major airlines that flying over Venezuelan airspace could lead to a “potentially dangerous situation.” The FAA urged airlines to be vigilant.
As US president, Trump has vowed to use all US powers to stop drugs from entering our country and bring those responsible to justice. Three international airlines canceled flights out of Venezuela yesterday following the warning. The US plans to designate the Cartel de los Soles as a foreign terrorist organization on Monday. The US alleges that the cartel ships illegal drugs to the US and that President Maduro himself leads the cartel.
Maduro has denied this. The Trump administration is considering various options surrounding Venezuela. They claim that President Maduro is playing a role in the supply of illegal drugs, which are killing many people in the United States. However, Maduro has denied these allegations.
New options after terrorist listing
US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said last week that designating an organization as a terrorist organization “opens up a lot of new options for the United States.” Trump said the potential designation would allow the United States to strike Maduro’s assets and Venezuelan infrastructure. But he also signaled that the possibility of negotiating a diplomatic solution was open. Two US officials said talks were underway between Washington and Caracas.
It was not immediately clear whether they would affect the timing or scope of the new military operation. The US Navy’s largest aircraft carrier, the USS Gerald R. Ford, arrived in the Caribbean on November 16. It is stationed there with at least seven warships, a nuclear submarine and F-35 fighter jets.
