America carried out a massive attack in Venezuela on Saturday (January 03, 2026). The US Army arrested Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores. According to the US Foreign Secretary, a criminal trial will be conducted against him in America. On the other hand, Russia got angry over this action of America and on the other hand, the European Union distanced itself from the matter. Many countries around the world, including Russia and Iran, strongly criticized the American attack and called it a ‘blatant violation’ of the country’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Russia has expressed its anger over this action of America. The Russian Foreign Ministry described the US action as ‘very worrying’ and condemnable and said, ‘The excuses used to justify such actions are useless. Ideological enmity has won over practical business-like thinking and the desire to build trust and pre-arranged relationships.

Latin America should remain a region of peace: Russia

Russia stressed that all partners who have grievances against each other should find a solution through dialogue and stop further escalation. The statement further said, ‘Latin America must remain the same peaceful region that it described itself as in 2014, and Venezuela must have the right to determine its own destiny without any harmful outside interference, let alone military.’

Russia further said that we reaffirm our solidarity with the Venezuelan people and our support for their Bolivarian leadership path, which is aimed at safeguarding the country’s national interests and sovereignty.

We condemn this action of America: China

China’s Foreign Ministry has said that it is shocked by the airstrike taken by America against a sovereign country and the action taken against its President. Also strongly condemns this action of US. China said, ‘Such hegemonic actions of the US seriously violate international law and Venezuela’s sovereignty. Also, there is a threat to peace and security in Latin America and the Caribbean region. China strongly opposes this.

The Foreign Ministry said, ‘We call on the US to adhere to the purposes and principles of international law and the UN Charter and to stop violating the sovereignty and security of other countries.’

What did Cuba say on America’s military action?

News agency Xinhua reported that Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel also condemned America’s ‘criminal attack’ against Venezuela on Saturday and demanded an immediate response from the international community.

In a social media post, President Canales said that Latin America is being brutally attacked. He called it state terrorism against the brave people of Venezuela and our America. Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez also condemned the attack and said the bombings and military action in Caracas and other areas of the country were acts of cowardice against a country that has not attacked the United States or any other country.

America’s action against the principles of UN Charter: Iran

Iran’s ministry also strongly condemned the US military attack on Venezuela, calling the attack an “act of aggression” and a clear violation of the United Nations Charter and basic principles of international law.

Iran reaffirmed Venezuela’s right to defend its national sovereignty, territorial integrity, and right to self-determination, and urged the international community to fulfill its legal and moral responsibilities by immediately stopping the US attack on the country.

What was the reaction of the European Union to American action?

Kaja Kallas, the European Union’s high representative for foreign affairs and security policy and vice-president of the European Commission, said, ‘I have spoken to Foreign Secretary Marco Rubio and our ambassador in Caracas. The EU is closely monitoring the situation in Venezuela. The EU has repeatedly said Maduro lacks legitimacy and has defended a peaceful transition. In all circumstances, the principles of international law and the UN Charter must be respected. We appeal for patience. The safety of EU citizens in the country is our biggest priority.

America’s MP criticized Trump

Condemning Trump’s move, American leader Jim McGovern wrote, ‘Without seeking permission from Congress and despite most Americans being against military action, Trump has launched a wrongful, illegal attack on Venezuela. He says we don’t have enough money for healthcare for Americans, but somehow we have unlimited funds for war?

British MP surrounds Trump

Another British MP, Jeremy Corbyn, strongly criticized Trump’s action and said, ‘America has launched an unprovoked and illegal attack on Venezuela. This is an open attempt to gain control over Venezuela’s natural resources. This is an act of war that puts the lives of millions of people at risk and should be condemned by everyone who believes in sovereignty and international law.

What is Spain’s reaction?

Santiago Abascal, president of Spain’s VOX party, wrote, ‘Today the world is a little more free. We should be happy for this and support the restoration of democracy in Venezuela. We will work for this with our colleagues from the Madrid Forum. On the contrary, Pedro Sanchez (PM of Spain) will be very upset. Maduro’s fall is a bigger blow to the Sanchista mafia than the arrest of Abalos and Cerdán.

British MP Zara Sultana said, ‘Venezuela has the world’s largest oil reserves and this is no coincidence. This is America’s open imperialism. An illegal attack on Caracas aimed at removing an independent government and plundering its resources. Starmer’s Labor government should clearly condemn this. Solidarity with the Venezuelan people.

Spain’s Health Minister wrote on the social media platform X, ‘A unilateral military attack to violate the independence of any country is wrong, whether it is Palestine, Ukraine or Venezuela. We must immediately return to a world based on international law and rules, dialogue and cooperation.

Iranian President Masoud Pejeshkian said on Saturday (December 27) that his country is currently embroiled in a large-scale war with America, Israel and Europe. His statement came before Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s meeting with US President Donald Trump on Monday.

According to the report of Al Jazeera, Pejeshkian said in an interview given to the official website of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei that in my opinion we are at war with America, Israel and Europe.

Pejeshkian said- Today’s war is different

According to the Iranian President, the current conflict is not just military but pressure is being created in every area related to economic, cultural, political and security. He said that we are being surrounded and harassed from all sides and problems are being created continuously.

Posting on his social media platform Truth Social, President Trump said that these air strikes were carried out on his orders. He wrote that the hideouts of ISIS terrorists operating in northwestern Nigeria were targeted. Trump said, ‘Tonight the Commander in Chief, on my instructions, targeted ISIS terrorists in northwest Nigeria.

Accused of targeting Christians

President Trump alleged that these terrorists were targeting and brutally killing innocent Christians. He said that such level of violence has not been seen in many years or even centuries. According to Trump, he had already warned these terrorists that if the killing of Christians did not stop, they would have to face serious consequences.

‘Warned’

Trump wrote in his message, ‘I had already warned these terrorists that if they did not stop the massacre of Christians, they would have to pay a heavy price and the same happened tonight.’

American army did a perfect strike

According to the President, America carried out many precise air strikes in this military operation. He said that the US Defense Department carried out this action. Trump wrote, ‘The Department of War delivered many perfect strikes, something only the United States can do.’

Strict stance against terrorism

Trump said that this action reflects his tough stance against terrorism. He wrote, ‘Under my leadership our country will not allow radical Islamic terrorism to flourish.’ Along with this, he praised the American Army and while wishing a Merry Christmas, he said, ‘God bless our army and Merry Christmas to everyone, even the dead terrorists, Merry Christmas.’ At the same time, the US Africa Command (US AFRICOM) has said that the action taken against ISIS in Sokoto, Nigeria (called ‘Soboto’ in the AFRICOM statement) was taken at the request of the Nigerian authorities.

Putin India Visit: Russian President Vladimir Putin has said that the increasing cooperation between India and Russia is not against any third country, America is also included in it. In an interview given to India Today in the Kremlin before his visit to India, he spoke openly on the future of India-Russia relations and America’s reactions.

When asked what India and Russia should do to deal with President Donald Trump’s tariff policies, Putin said, ‘He follows his own policy. He has advisors, his decisions are not taken just like that. His advisors believe that this type of tariff policy, i.e. imposing additional duties on trading partners, is beneficial for the US economy in the long run. In my understanding, he is doing his work honestly.

‘Russia does not believe in such policies’

Putin said that Russia does not adopt such practices. He said, ‘Our experts believe that there are risks in these policies, but every country and its government has the right to choose its economic policy. We have never done this, are not doing it now and have no such plans in the future. Our economy is open. We hope that whatever violation of World Trade Organization (WTO) rules has occurred will be rectified.

‘India-Russia cooperation is not against any country’

When asked what could be Trump’s reaction to programs like ‘Make in India, Make With Russia’, Putin clearly said, ‘Neither I nor Prime Minister Modi ever think of working together against anyone, despite external pressures. Trump follows his agenda, focuses on his goals, while we focus on our work, not against anyone, but to protect the interests of India and Russia. We do not harm anyone and I think leaders of other countries will understand this.

When asked what he thought about Trump’s recent statement that India was ‘funding the war’ by buying oil from Russia, Putin said, ‘I would never let any of my colleagues make this assessment of the citizens of their country during elections.’

‘America itself buys nuclear fuel from Russia’

Responding to Trump’s criticism on energy imports, Putin said that America itself buys nuclear fuel from Russia. He said, ‘As far as India’s purchase of Russian energy resources is concerned… I would like to say this, and I have said this publicly before, America itself buys nuclear fuel from Russia for its nuclear power plants.’

Putin further said, ‘This fuel is also uranium, which is used in America’s reactors. If America has the right to buy fuel from us, why should India not have the same right? This question is a matter of serious consideration and we are ready to discuss it, even with President Trump.

At the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit, Chinese President Xi Jinping on Friday (October 31) called on member countries to increase trade and investment, but also warned that they should not be part of the US effort to reduce the world’s dependence on China.

Xi Jinping became the only global superpower leader at the summit, after US President Donald Trump left South Korea a day earlier. At the beginning of the conference, he was seen smilingly shaking hands with the leaders and ministers of Japan, Canada, Australia and host South Korea.

What did Xi Jinping say in his address?

In his address, Xi said that Asia should stick to the policy of joining hands with each other, and not to the idea of ​​breaking the supply chain. He indirectly made a strong comment on the efforts of Western countries to move factories out of China. “We should strengthen industrial supply chains, not break them,” Xi said.

In another speech to business leaders, read by his representative, Xi took indirect aim at the United States, saying APEC countries should oppose protectionism and unilateral policies and “save the world from returning to the law of the jungle.”

However, China’s recent policies have weakened Xi’s appeal somewhat. In October, Beijing proposed new export controls on rare earth minerals, which would have given it extraordinary control over other countries. These minerals play an important role in the manufacturing of modern technologies such as semiconductors, batteries and jet aircraft. China dominates almost 90% of the world’s supply.

After meeting with Trump, China agreed to temporarily halt these controls. This meeting turned into a kind of diplomatic ceasefire between the two leaders and Trump praised Xi’s stability.

Xi Jinping and Sanae Takaichi met

But on Friday, Xi faced Japan’s new Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, who is considered a vocal critic of China. Takaichi raised issues of rare earth export controls, disputes in the East China Sea, and Japanese citizens detained on espionage charges in his meeting with Xi. He said that Japan has serious concerns about China’s military expansion in the South China Sea and human rights violations in Hong Kong and Xinjiang. Takaichi said, “There are definitely differences between us, but it is necessary to talk openly and directly on these issues.”

Deal discussion after Trump Shahbaz and Aimsim meeting

The deal came out a few days after the meeting of US President Donald Trump, Pakistan Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif and Army Chief General Asim Munir. During the meeting, Trump had said that he has played a role in reducing the increasing tension between India and Pakistan. Defense experts believe that the contract indicates new strategic proximity between Pakistan and the US. The US can try to balance the influence of China and Russia through this deal.

Speculation about upgrade of f-16 fighter jets

After this missile deal, it is being speculated that Pakistan can upgrade its F-16 fighter jet fleet. According to the Express Tribune report, the AIM-120 AMRAAM missiles can be used with F-16 aircraft. During the air clashes between India and Pakistan in February 2019, Pakistan used this missile on Indian aircraft. Now this deal is being considered another major step towards increasing the capacity of F-16 aircraft.

AIM-12C8 missile technical capacity

AIM-12C8 is the new version of the US AIM-120D missile. It is a medium -range air -to -air missile, which now makes RTX Corporation.

The main features of this missile are as follows:

• Range: From 160 to 180 km, the launch depends on the platform.
• Speed: Mac 4 is about four times faster than the voice speed.
• Guidance: Active radar homeing system, which helps in the exact target.
• Capacity: Can target several air goals simultaneously.

The missile is useful in aircraft like F-15, F-16, F/A-18, F-22, Eurofighter Typhoon, Greepen, Tornado and F-35. Apart from this, it is also used in ground air defense systems like Nasams (National Advanced Surface-to-aair Missile System), which has been adopted by America, Norway, Poland and Ukraine.

What does this deal mean for India?

This potential deal is strategically important for India. It will improve its air power with Pakistan getting AIM-12 missiles and F-16 upgrade. Although India already has an advanced fighter like Rafael and Sukhoi-30 MKI, Meteor missiles are used, but a possible missile deal of Pakistan-American can create new stress in regional power balance.

India called upon the international community to ensure that the terrorist organizations declared by the United Nations, including Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed of Pakistan, and their helpers could not use the land of Afghanistan for terrorist activities.

India’s permanent representative Ambassador to the United Nations, Parvatneni Harish said on Wednesday, “India is keeping a close watch on the security situation of Afghanistan.” He clearly referred to Pakistan, saying, ‘The international community should make coordinated efforts to ensure that the terrorist organizations and individuals announced by the United Nations Security Council such as ISIL (Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant), Al-Qaeda, Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mauhammad and their dangerous intentions are no longer the use of Afghanistan.

While giving a statement at the United Nations Security Council meeting on Afghanistan, Ambassador Harish said that India and Afghanistan have civilization and India has the highest interest in maintaining peace and stability in this war -torn country. He said, ‘We consider international and regional consent and cooperation on major issues related to Afghanistan to be extremely necessary. We are actively communicating with all the concerned parties to promote peace, stability and development in the country. Our participation in United Nations meetings and other regional forums in Doha shows our efforts.

Ambassador Harish also told the Security Council that India’s Foreign Minister S.K. Jaishankar, Afghanistan’s acting Foreign Minister Aamir Khan has talked to Mottki twice. India welcomed the strict condemnation of Afghanistan of the terrorist attack in Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir on 22 April. At the same time, India emphasized that to deal with any struggle-west situation, it is necessary to encourage positive behavior in the effective policy and discourage harmful activities.

India voted in favor of the proposal in the United Nations General Assembly, which supports the peaceful solution between Israel and Palestinians and the New York Declaration for the two-state solution. The proposal introduced by France was passed by an overwhelming majority of 142 countries.

India was also included in the countries that voted in favor of Palestine. All the Arab countries of the Gulf supported the proposal, while Israel, the United States, Argentina, Hungary, Micronesia, Nauru, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Paraguay and Tonga voted against the proposal.

What was said in the manifesto?

The manifesto calls for the Israeli leadership to express clarity towards the two-state solution. In this, there has been a demand from Israeli to abolish violence and provocative violence against Palestinians. Apart from this, all types of settlements, land acquisition and acquisition activities in the authorized Palestinian region including Eastern Jerusalem have also been called to stop and end the violence of settlers.

India’s voting in the United Nations indicates a clear change from its earlier stance on Gaza. In recent years, the Modi government has been avoiding supporting the proposals demanding ceasefire in the struggle. India has kept itself away from the proposal of the United Nations General Assembly demanding a ceasefire in Gaza four times in three years.

Statement of Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman

Israel has strongly criticized it. Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Oren Marmorastein said in a post on X, “Once again, it has been proved that the Mahasabha is a political circus away from reality. This proposal does not mention even once in dozens of sections of the manifesto supported by this proposal that Hamas is a terrorist organization.”

America protested

The US mission at the United Nations said in a statement that the United States opposed the New York announcement, just as it opposed the high-level international conference and the proposal supporting the implementation of the Palestinian question and the proposal supporting it.

American diplomatic Morgan Ortagas has described it as a political show. He said, “There is no doubt that this proposal is a gift for Hamas.”

Hamas condemnation

The proposal called “New York Declaration on the Peaceful Settlement of Palestine and the Emplementation of the State Solution” was signed by 17 member countries in July. The purpose of this announcement is to establish peace, security and stability in the Middle East, which has been facing constant struggle since the Israel Hamas war broke out in October 2023. Hamas has been condemned in the proposal and demanded to put arms from him.

Foreign Minister Gidon Sar said this in his statement

External Affairs Minister Gidon Saar said during a press conference in Croatia that Israel has called the latest proposal of US President Donald Trump of the release and ceasefire agreement in Gaza as “yes”. “The war in Gaza can end tomorrow. We are ready to accept the agreement on the end of the cabinet.

He further said that the Israeli government has two conditions to end the war – first, the release of all Israeli hostages and the second Hamas should put its weapon.
