Venezuela Condemns CIA, Trinidad and Tobago’s Military Provocation
Venezuela has recently expressed strong condemnation regarding military exercises conducted by Trinidad and Tobago in collaboration with the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). This statement was released on October 26, 2025, amid ongoing joint training operations intended to bolster regional security.
Military Provocation Claims
Venezuelan officials accused Trinidad and Tobago of engaging in what they termed a “military provocation.” This accusation is linked to the ongoing U.S. military exercises in the Caribbean, which Venezuela argues may escalate tensions in the region.
Mercenary Capture and False Flag Allegations
According to Venezuela, a group of mercenaries has been captured. The Venezuelan government claims these individuals possess direct ties to the CIA. They allege that these mercenaries are involved in plans for a false-flag attack.
- A false flag operation is designed to mislead by implicating another party.
- Venezuela’s government stated a false flag attack is imminent from Trinidadian or Venezuelan territory.
Official Statements
The Venezuelan Vice President, Delcy Rodriguez, issued a statement highlighting these concerns, although no substantial evidence was provided to back the claims. This allegation marks a significant escalation in the rhetoric between Venezuela and its neighbors.
U.S. Involvement
Earlier this month, former U.S. President Donald Trump acknowledged the authorization of CIA operations in Venezuela, intensifying the ongoing tensions. The U.S. government claims its military presence in the Caribbean is aimed at combating drug trafficking.
Increased Military Presence
The Pentagon has responded by enhancing military capabilities in the region, including the deployment of the USS Gerald Ford aircraft carrier group. These movements underline the increasing military activity and the potential for conflict in the area.
As regional tensions rise, it remains to be seen how these developments will affect the geopolitical landscape in the Caribbean and beyond.
