Venezuela ‘is calm, at peace, returning to normal’ after recent US 'devious attack’ - Int minister Diosdado Cabello

Venezuela ‘is calm, at peace, returning to normal’ after recent US 'devious attack’ - Int minister Diosdado Cabello

"Venezuela's Interior Minister, Diosdado Cabello, held a press conference on Tuesday at the Ministry of Interior in Caracas, where he assured that Venezuela "is at peace" after the military attack by the United States on January 3 that led to the capture of Nicolas Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores. The minister stated that the country is in the process of returning to normality, despite the political and social impact of the operation. The official maintained that daily activities are gradually resuming, especially the education system. "The country is calm. The country is at peace. The country is returning to normal. And it is not about normalising things, it is the daily routine, well... parents have to get up and take their children to school. Those who did not take them yesterday, and this one has to be assumed self-critically, has to do with fear. Fear of parents who do not want to expose their children to a new devious attack against our country," Cabello explained. Regarding public security, Cabello also referred to the functioning of public services, commercial activity, and the security deployment in the capital, noting that police bodies and the Armed Forces maintain regular patrols to guarantee order. On the other hand, the minister described the attack as a "total outburst" and denounced the magnitude of the human damage. He assured that the explosions make it difficult to count victims and that state scientific bodies are working on the identification of remains. "We say it, a total outburst what they did against Venezuela. We have said that it exceeds 100 people murdered. When we do not talk about the number of deceased or murdered, it is because the explosions were so strong that there are people we do not know where they are," the diplomat commented. In his remarks, Cabello rejected the international narrative that presents the North American military operation against Venezuela as a response to drug trafficking, specifically, he said, to the alleged "Cartel de los Soles," and assured that said cartel never existed. "The Cartel de los Soles has never existed, it has never existed, ever a narrative and it is not an argument for the attack. The argument for the attack is oil. This is not an argument for the attack," said Diosdado Cabello. "

Yes, it's outside NATO's sphere... but NATO allies are involved! - Rutte on Iran, doesn't comment on 'Daddy' Trump's role

Yes, it's outside NATO's sphere... but NATO allies are involved! - Rutte on Iran, doesn't comment on 'Daddy' Trump's role

"NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte described the situation in Iran as 'repellent' - but said that while it was outside NATO territory, allies were still 'navigating this crisis' and in 'constant touch' - as he addressed European lawmakers in Brussels on Tuesday. He did not specify exactly what NATO allies were doing in Iran and did not comment on US President Donald Trump's own involvement. Trump - the man Rutte famously called 'daddy' - has been at the heart of the latest escalation, with Iran accusing him of inflaming tensions and rioting. Earlier Trump wrote on Truth Social: "Iranian Patriots, KEEP PROTESTING - TAKE OVER YOUR INSTITUTIONS!!! Save the names of the killers and abusers. They will pay a big price. I have cancelled all meetings with Iranian Officials until the senseless killing of protesters STOPS. HELP IS ON ITS WAY. MIGA!!!"  Economic protests have been ongoing in Iran since December, and intensified in recent days and weeks, following Trump's pledge to intervene if the Tehran government launched any kind of crackdown. Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei claimed some rioters were destroying property to 'please' the US president. "
