The circle of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro is convinced that a United States military offensive against its regime is imminent, ruling out that current events are merely a negotiation tactic. This belief emerged during the reporting window of September 15th, 2025, between 2:03 PM and 5:03 PM UTC. This heightened concern follows claims that the Bolivarian Navy is currently deployed. However, a video circulated during this period, reportedly created with AI, depicted the "Navy Bolivarina" to boost morale, as stated by sources reporting on the situation. The authenticity of the original naval deployment imagery is being questioned. While the specific motivations behind the perceived US military action were not detailed, Maduro's government has previously expressed skepticism regarding US intentions. The government's conviction suggests a significant escalation in perceived threats from the United States.
