Venezuela says it foiled a 'false flag operation' by suspected right-wing extremists to plant explosives at the US embassy in Caracas
(FILES) Venezuela's National Assembly President Jorge Rodriguez warned on October 5, 2025, of a plan by extremists to place explosives in the US embassy in Caracas, amid growing tension between the two countries over Washington's military deployment in the Caribbean.

Overview

  • National Assembly President Jorge Rodríguez issued the warning on Telegram, alleging a plan by extremist sectors of the local Venezuelan right to plant explosives at the U.S. Embassy compound in Caracas.
  • Rodríguez said he relayed the information to U.S. counterparts through three channels and also notified an unnamed European embassy.
  • There is no independent confirmation of the alleged plot, and the White House and the U.S. State Department had not responded to requests for comment as of the latest reporting.
  • Venezuela severed diplomatic relations with the United States in 2019, and U.S. diplomatic personnel departed the embassy that year.
  • International reporting places the alert in the context of rising bilateral tension linked to recent U.S. military activity in the Caribbean.
