In a powerful show of solidarity, Iran, Cuba and Brazil have condemned the US military invasion of Venezuela and the abduction of President Nicolás Maduro. 🤝
Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi, in phone calls with Cuba’s Bruno Rodriguez Parrilla and Brazil’s Mauro Vieira, slammed Washington’s actions as “flagrant violations” of the UN Charter. He warned that such unilateral moves threaten the global rule-based order. 🌐⚖️
Rodriguez called the US operation in the Caribbean “illegal,” stressing Cuba’s commitment to stand up against foreign threats. Vieira echoed these views, announcing plans to raise the issue at the UN Security Council, the Organization of American States, and regional forums. 🌎
The ministers urged developing nations and members of the Non-Aligned Movement to boost cooperation and defend international law together. Their joint statement highlights the need for a united front to prevent power abuses and protect state sovereignty. 🔒
Last weekend’s US strike saw the forced seizure of President Maduro and his wife, sparking global outrage and renewed debate over America’s role in Latin America. For months, the US has kept a large military presence off Venezuela’s coast under the banner of fighting drug trafficking—a move Caracas calls a cover for regime change. 🛑
As young global citizens, we’re watching closely. Will more nations join the call for peace and legal norms? Stay tuned as this story unfolds. 💬
