US special forces conducted a precision raid into Venezuela on January 3, 2026, capturing President Nicolás Maduro at Fuerte Tiuna military base amid airstrikes on Caracas, forcibly removing the long-time leader and marking the first such US intervention in the hemisphere since Panama in 1989. Forces have since dispersed, with trader consensus pricing low odds on re-entry—such as 14% for by June 30—reflecting stabilized interim governance under Diosdado Cabello's allies, resumed US-Venezuela diplomatic ties on March 6, and a US naval buildup in the Caribbean without new ground incursions. Surprise US commander visits and resource control aims persist amid legitimacy questions, but focus has shifted to Cuba pressures and regional de-escalation signals.
