【Key Focus: The US is Preparing for Precision Strikes on Ground Targets in Venezuela, Has Mobilized a Large Amount of Strategic Military Assets】
On December 15, 2025, Washington time, the U.S. "Wall Street Journal" stated in a news release:
The U.S. military is deploying more weapons and troops to the Caribbean region, preparing for precision strikes on ground targets in the country. This provides President Trump with a powerful new option to increase pressure on Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, potentially even toppling him.
The troops deployed to the region are optimized to carry out precision, covert strikes with minimal collateral damage. Fifth-generation F-35A fighter jets, Boeing EA-18G Growler electronic warfare aircraft, Sikorsky HH-60W helicopters, and Lockheed HC-130J aircraft designed for rescue operations are being deployed to Puerto Rico. In addition, U.S. refueling aircraft have recently been deployed to the Dominican Republic for aerial refueling of fighter jets and bombers. The re-deployment of equipment indicates that the U.S. has intentions of conducting combat operations.
In addition, Venezuelan port officials said that there is a high likelihood of an American attack. A staff member at Valencia Airport said that anti-aircraft guns have been deployed near the runway and warehouses.
