Delcy Rodríguez — yes, she’s a communist. She’s the main ally and representation of the Russian regime, the Chinese, and the Iranians. But that’s not the Venezuelan people, and that’s not the armed forces as well.

I am profoundly confident that we will have an orderly transition. This is a complex phase where right now some of the dirty work is being done by them.

But the result of a stable transition will be a proud Venezuela who’s going to be the best ally the United States has ever had in the Americas.

There was a certain moment in the trip in the boat where I was hurt. The waves were very high, over six feet, and there was a strong wind.

We got lost in the ocean. We lost the GPS, the satellite phone stopped working, and the Starlink antenna did not work — all at the same time.

It was a very risky, dangerous, and scary moment, and it lasted several hours. At the end, I believe it is a miracle that I am here.

Our response to the positions of the terrorist PKK militias and the remnants of the defunct regime allied with the SDF in the city of Deir Hafer—locations that were circulated shortly ago—has begun.

These positions are considered military bases for the SDF and its allies. From them, Iranian suicide drones were launched toward our people in the city of Aleppo.

They have also played a major role in shelling the eastern Aleppo countryside and preventing residents from leaving the area.

The so-called Islamic Republic is not the government of Iran. It is a hostile occupying force that’s hijacked our homeland.

This regime has invaded Iran itself.

This is foreign occupation wearing clerical robes.

Just like those other tyrannies, the Islamic Republic will fall. Not if, but when.

Protect the Iranian people by degrading the regime’s repressive capacity, including targeting the Islamic Revolutionary Guard leadership and its command and control infrastructure.

Deliver and sustain maximum economic pressure on the regime. Block their assets worldwide. Target and dismantle their fleet of ghost tankers.

Break through the regime’s information blockade by enabling unrestricted internet access. Deploy Starlink and other secure communications tools widely across Iran. And conduct cyber operations to disable the regime’s ability to shut down the internet.

Hold the regime accountable by expelling its diplomats from your capitals and pursue legal enforcement actions against those responsible for crimes against humanity.

Demand the immediate release of all political prisoners.

Prepare for a democratic transition in Iran by committing to recognize a legitimate transitional government when the moment comes.
