TEHRAN, November 15 (Xinhua) — Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei on Saturday warned of "risky" consequences for international peace and security amid the escalation of US military activity in the Caribbean and Latin America.
In his statement, the diplomat called for respect for Venezuela's sovereignty and territorial integrity. These remarks came two days after US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced Operation Southern Spear in the Western Hemisphere, aimed at "combatting drug cartels."
E. Bagai noted that the US threats to use force against the legitimate government of Venezuela constitute a “flagrant violation of the law” and are contrary to the UN Charter.
The United States has sent several warships north of Venezuela, saying the mission is targeting suspected "narcoterrorists" it claims have ties to the Venezuelan government.
Since September, the United States has carried out 20 strikes on fishing vessels in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific, killing 80 people. –0–
