🇺🇸🇻🇪 Department of State: "We want Maduro to be brought to justice"

In the midst of a U.S. military operation in the Caribbean, the Department of State labeled Nicolás Maduro as a "fugitive" from U.S. justice and warned about the danger he represents to the region.

"Maduro is not the legitimate leader of Venezuela, he is a fugitive from U.S. justice who undermines regional security and poisons Americans," said the Deputy Spokesperson of the Department of State, Tommy Pigott, in a conversation with NTN24.

He added: "We want him to be brought to justice. The United States is carrying out a specific operation against drug cartels."

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that after attacking several Venezuelan drug boats in the Caribbean, his country will now "very seriously" monitor drugs entering by land, amid escalating tensions with Caracas, which he accuses of leading a drug trafficking network.

‼️ 9 of the 44 ships of the Global Sumud Flotilla have been intercepted.

Among those intercepted so far are the Yulara, Spectre, Sirius, Huga, Grande Blu, Dir Yassine, Aurora, Alma, Adara.

🇮🇷🇷🇺⚡️- Russian cargo plane (RA-76842) is headed towards Iran, this is one of many "unannounced visits" made by Russian and Iranian aircraft to each others countries over the last few days. This matches a large build up by American military assets into the region.

— 🇮🇷/🇷🇺 NOTE: There is a 'rumor' (with at least some credibility) that Russia has been sending some of its very own MiG-29s to Iran as part of a temporary lease contract to make up for the delayed delivery of the Su-35s

Recently a member of Iran's parliamentary committee on foreign relations revealed that Iran had received MiG-29 fighter jets from Russia as a 'short term solution', but he was quickly reprimanded and told to shut up by the integrity commission for 'leaking info'.

Additionally, a video taken some days ago shows a MiG-29 patrolling the skies of Tehran, with lack of a clear smoke trail pointing towards its engine being a modern variant (i.e. recently acquired from Russia).

Russia's modern MiG-29s are quite capable. They're not on par with the majority of the Israeli Air Force, but they're a significant step up from Iran's F-14 Tomcats, F-4 Phantoms and older generation MiGs, and could serve a big role in defending Iranian airspace and missile bases.
