December 3, 2025 – Rubio: Iran and Hezbollah are operating from inside Venezuela

In Email/Dossier/Govt Corruption Investigations, Featured Timeline Entries by Katie Weddington

Senator Marco Rubio just issued one of the starkest warnings yet — and it changes the entire picture of the Venezuela crisis:

“The Venezuelan regime is a source of instability in the entire region…
Iran, its IRGC, and even Hezbollah have a presence in South America —
and their anchor presence is inside Venezuela.”

Let that sink in.

8 million Venezuelans displaced

Spillover into Colombia, Brazil, the U.S.

Cartels, trafficking networks, and Iranian intelligence embedded in the region

Rubio isn’t speaking hypothetically — he’s confirming what U.S. intel has known for years:

Venezuela is no longer just a failed socialist state.
It’s a forward operating base for Iran and Hezbollah in the Western Hemisphere.

This is why the situation is escalating.
This is why Trump’s ultimatum matters.
This is why Maduro’s regime cannot be ignored or “managed.”

The threat isn’t local — it’s global.

Venezuela is just the opening salvo into what will be the elimination of Deep State from the Western Hemisphere… this is complex, but relatively easy to follow… read what I typed up below then read the threads below…

Venezuela became the Western Hemisphere hub for a full-spectrum foreign influence network that extends far beyond Iran and Hezbollah… the IRGC runs covert logistics, forged documents, and intelligence staging from inside the regime…

China’s port control, telecom access, and debt leverage ride the same corruption corridors… Russia embeds military advisers, cyber operators, and energy technicians through overlapping rails…

Cuban intelligence runs the internal security architecture…

Nicaragua provides diplomatic shelter and deep-water access… Israeli-linked intelligence contractors and private security outfits used by oligarchs, Caribbean banks, and regional power brokers have also operated in this zone for years, exploiting financial opacity and shipping lanes to run dual-use technology, surveillance tools, and political influence campaigns across the islands…
This field widened because the Caribbean narco corridor acts as the connective tissue… here is how… cartels move cash, weapons, migrants, and illicit shipments that foreign intelligence services hide inside…

The EU appears through banking havens, shipping registries, aid channels, and “governance NGOs” that mask financial flows feeding political networks in Venezuela, Suriname, Guyana, and the islands…

The ecosystem became a shared shadow platform… Iranian operators moving side by side with cartel logistics, Russian cyber nodes riding on Caribbean telecom hubs, Chinese surveillance infrastructure parked across ports, Cuban officers managing Maduro’s inner security ring, and private Israeli-linked intelligence contractors plugged into offshore finance and political mediation… see it?

Nothing here is isolated… every actor uses the same permissive environment… this is why escalation hits a different register now…

Eight million displaced Venezuelans, destabilized borders, weaponized migration lanes into the US, and a hemisphere-wide footprint of foreign services reveal a region treated as a forward operating base by adversarial states and opportunistic global players…

Rubio’s statement is an admission that the architecture is real… Trump’s ultimatum lands into a field saturated with Iran’s proxies, China’s maritime influence, Russia’s military anchors, Cuban control grids, EU financial scaffolds, and Israeli-linked intelligence intermediaries embedded in the Caribbean’s offshore world…

The Western Hemisphere is being reopened and recalibrated… the map is no longer hidden.. read below thread to see the mapping – it is very clear…
