Venezuela's strategic operational commander, General Domingo Antonio Hernández Lares, publicly expressed support for Iran at the Iranian embassy, framing the U.S. as an enemy.
The regime, including Diosdado Cabello and Jorge RodrĂguez, held a march to show solidarity with Iran, using aggressive rhetoric against the U.S.
The armed forces launched a campaign using female military personnel in Táchira and Apure to discredit MarĂa Corina Machado, falsely suggesting she called for Venezuela to be bombed.
Barráez reports internal discontent within the armed forces over the regime's support for Iran, which the regime is trying to suppress.
The reported statement by Sebastiana Barráez, which claims that the Maduro regime seeks to advance its relationship with Iran and deems this dangerous, is framed within the context of Venezuela-Iran relations. This signal touches upon the topic of military support and propaganda campaigns, as it relates to the actions of Venezuelan leadership and state figures.
The source profile, identified as CĂ©sar Miguel RondĂłn (unclassified), does not provide context on how to interpret these claims beyond noting their association with topics like Venezuela-Iran relations and military support. To change the assessment of these specific claims, evidence would need to be introduced regarding official government denials of military cooperation with Iran or observable evidence concerning the campaign against MarĂa Corina Machado.
