An X post by @miriti55453 shared between 2:15 a.m. and 3:15 a.m. UTC on January 7 detailed Hezbollah training camps protected by the Maduro regime on Margarita Island, Venezuela, along with IRGC logistics and over 10,400 Venezuelan passports issued to Lebanese, Iranian, and Syrian nationals from 2010 to 2019 through regime-linked networks. The post stated Margarita Island served as Iran's proxy hub in the Western Hemisphere, featuring recruits from Latin America trained there and sent to Iran, fighters relocated from Lebanon after Israeli strikes, and activities including drug trafficking and gold-for-arms deals, citing sources such as Fox News investigations, the Atlantic Council, U.S. DOJ indictments, and the Washington Institute. @zerohedge shared a ZeroHedge article on X during the same 59-minute period mapping U.S. interventions in Latin America. This information emerges following the U.S. Delta Force raid capturing NicolĂĄs Maduro in Caracas last Saturday, as previously reported, after which the X post noted Maduro fell and Iran protested while Hezbollah stayed quiet.
