Newyork(The COW News Digital)The United Nations Security Council is set to hold an emergency meeting today following the US military operation against Venezuela, a development that has triggered widespread international concern and diplomatic reactions.
According to officials, the emergency session was convened at the request of several member states after reports confirmed large-scale US military action inside Venezuelan territory. The meeting is expected to focus on the legality of the operation, its humanitarian implications, and its impact on regional and global stability.
Global media outlets report that Venezuela’s oil exports have been brought to a complete halt following the US strikes. The disruption to the country’s energy infrastructure has raised concerns in international markets, as Venezuela holds some of the world’s largest proven oil reserves. Analysts warn that prolonged instability could further strain global energy supplies.

US President Donald Trump has already announced that the United States will oversee Venezuela’s affairs until what he described as a “transfer of power” takes place. In a statement, Trump said that Venezuela’s oil reserves would be taken under US control and that American oil companies would be allowed to operate in the country.
The US administration has justified its actions by pointing to longstanding allegations against Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that Maduro had been indicted in the United States in 2020. Rubio added that Maduro had previously been offered what he called a “very attractive deal,” but claimed that the Venezuelan leadership failed to respond positively.
“President Trump does not play games. What he says, he delivers,” Rubio said, reinforcing the administration’s hardline stance on Venezuela.
Meanwhile, Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff General Dan Caine revealed new details about the scale of the military operation. He confirmed that more than 150 bomber and fighter aircraft were involved in the strikes, underscoring the magnitude of the action taken against Venezuelan targets.
The developments have drawn sharp reactions from several countries, with some calling for restraint and respect for international law, while others have urged immediate dialogue to prevent further escalation. The Security Council meeting is expected to be tense, with divisions likely among permanent members over the US role in Venezuela.
As the situation unfolds, the international community will be watching closely to see whether the UN can play a meaningful role in de-escalation, or whether the crisis will deepen further in the coming days.
