WATCH! US SMOKES 26th Drug Boat Killing Four Narcoterrorists – Tucker Carlson Suggests War with Venezuela Imminent
US strikes 26th Venezuelan drug boat
U.S. military forces carried out another strike Wednesday against a Venezuelan drug-trafficking vessel in the Eastern Pacific, according to U.S. Southern Command.
The operation, conducted under Joint Task Force Southern Spear, resulted in the deaths of four members of a Designated Terrorist Organization. No U.S. personnel were injured.
The strike marks the 26th U.S. operation targeting Venezuelan drug boats, bringing the total number of narcoterrorists killed in these missions to 99.
In a statement posted Friday on X, U.S. Southern Command said the strike took place on Dec. 17 at the direction of Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. Intelligence indicated the vessel was traveling along a known narcotics trafficking route in international waters and was actively engaged in drug-smuggling operations.
Earlier Friday, media host Tucker Carlson said he had heard reports suggesting that a potential conflict with Venezuela could be imminent. Carlson stated that members of Congress were briefed on the possibility of war but cautioned that the information was unconfirmed.
President Trump did not announce military action against Venezuela during his Friday night address from the White House. However, tensions remain elevated following continued U.S. operations in the region. On Monday, U.S. forces destroyed three Venezuelan drug vessels in the Eastern Pacific.
That same day, President Trump signed an executive order designating fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction, citing the drug’s role in mass casualty deaths across the United States.
On Tuesday, President Trump escalated pressure on the Venezuelan government by ordering a full blockade of all sanctioned oil tankers traveling to and from Venezuela.
