Tensions between Venezuela and the United States are escalating rapidly. On September 4, 2025, two armed Venezuelan F-16 fighter jets reportedly flew over the U.S. Navy destroyer USS Jason Dunham near Venezuela. The incident comes just two days after a U.S. military strike destroyed a suspected Venezuelan drug-smuggling vessel, killing 11 alleged “narcoterrorists” linked to the Tren de Aragua cartel, as claimed by US President Donald Trump. Washington insists the strike occurred in international waters and targeted drug-trafficking operations. Watch the video for more.
