The United States has moved the aircraft carriers Iwo Jima and Gravely and positioned them at range for possible strikes on Venezuela, Newsweek magazine reported, citing satellite images.
According to the publication, the US military has increased its presence in the Caribbean after a series of strikes on suspected drug trafficking ships, which may indicate the Pentagon's increasing readiness for possible military action.
„Miami Herald“ reported that the US administration has decided to attack military facilities in Venezuela.
According to the newspaper, these strikes could be carried out in the coming days or even hours.
Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump denied in a conversation with reporters that he was considering strikes against Venezuela or that he had made a decision to do so.
“No, that's not true“, Trump said.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio also denied the newspaper's information, calling it “fake news“.
