Former Venezuelan Deputy FM Slams US Strike as Violation of International Law
In a recent interview with CGTN Europe, Temir Porras—who served as Venezuela's deputy minister of foreign affairs—did not hold back when talking about a recent US military action against his country. He called the strike "a blatant violation of international law" and warned that Washington has been setting the stage for a possible intervention for months.
Here's what you need to know:
- 📌 No direct armed conflict: Despite rising tensions, Venezuela and the United States are not officially at war.
- ⚠️ Legal red flags: Porras argues that targeting sovereign territory without UN approval breaches key international agreements.
- 🌎 Regional impact: He cautions that this move could destabilize not just Venezuela but the broader Latin American region.
For many young people watching these developments, it's a reminder of how international politics can have real-world effects on security, economics, and daily life. As Porras puts it, keeping an eye on global power moves is more than academic—it's about safeguarding our futures.
