US Conducts 'Large-Scale Strike' in Venezuela, Keeps Details Mysteriously Anonymous
KEY POINTS
- â˘On January 3, 2026, a US official anonymously confirmed strikes inside Venezuela but refused further details.
- â˘The White House and Pentagon did not reply to requests for comment the morning after the reported strike.
- â˘The action reportedly included the capture of Venezuelan President Maduro, according to attached reports.
On Saturday, January 3, 2026, the United States apparently unleashed what Reuters called a 'large scale strike' inside Venezuela, allegedly capturing President Maduro, though the Pentagon and White House chose all reasons of silence over sharing juicy specifics. The unnamed US official, speaking with the mystique of a witness at a magic show, divulged nothing but insisted on anonymity. Meanwhile, the world waits for details that never came, showing diplomacy currently resembles a covert whisper campaign. In short, diplomacy met 'who cares about transparency,' and the fireworks were mostly hearsay.

When your military operation comes with zero details and an anonymous leak, itâs less a strike, more amateur hour at the worldâs loudest open mic.
Declaring a 'large scale strike' vague enough to confuse even your own briefing docs sounds like the new US foreign policy: fog of war meets press conference.
Remember when 'anonymous source' were fleeting proof of secrets? Now it just means our intelligence probably shredded the report mid-call.
