Venezuela Crisis explained in 90 seconds – BBC NEWS
The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

Maduro explains the problem to his hungry people: "We ain't got no money, Honey, and it is not our fault. The CIA stole all our money". Socialism is great, but you just have to starve a little more, until we create our new worker's paradise.

Oh and please stop talking about "socialism" in Venezuela. It's communism. Socialism is what you have in France or some Western Europe countries, free school, free hospitals, free housing, goverment helping you with money. Venezuela's goverment collectivised the land like URSS did (with an even lower rate of success since Venezuela imports more food than it used to), you do not get to a position because you're good or deserve it but because you belong to the party of the gov. In order to get promoted you don't need results, you just need to show you're even more of a radical than the others in line for the position. It's not socialism because in Socialism, you don't need to show you agree with the goverment to get help from the goverment and when they educate your children, they don't brainwash them as blatantly as the Bolivarian schools do. The only difference between Venezuela, and Cuba, China or the Ex URSS, is that we have an illusion of democracy and, for quite some time, a lot of people where with the Revolutionary Process because it was the first goverment to acknowledge them and give them something. The oposition is not just right wing facists (even tho, following Goebels propaganda principles, the goverment keeps hammering that lie) there are socialist and even left wing revolutionary parties in the oposition. The other thing the communist goverment doesn't want to admit and is afraid most people still on their side will realize, is that the oposition doesn't want to destroy the corrupted institutions born from the Revolution, it wants to purge them from corruption, purge the brainwashing in the schools but letting people still get education, it wants to put competent and educated people in key economic areas so that the country can rise again.

Not bad, you forgot to say that students protests began february 6 after a girl was raped. Fed up students went to the streets to ask the gov to react on security matters and they where met with violence from the state police and national guard. After the goverments violent response, more students all over the country marched on the streets and oposition leaders called for the 12F March where two students and a very influencial paramilitar leader (who odly enough was in an oposition meeting and had been a problem for the goverment before – he has been called a terrorist by the state but support from the people and the paramilitary groups got him a pardon – ) where killed.

Apparently some people are anti freedom and anti USA so it is impossible to hear such trash and stupidity spoken by anyone but them. Maduro is a thief, a crook and very dangerous to Venezuela. Missing the basic necessities of even modern day existence, toilet paper, sugar, milk not available to the citizens is paving the way for this country to become just like Cuba. Loss of freedom, protection from your own government and riots in the streets is a pretty poor situation and anyone who thinks otherwise should go there and spend some time.

Very good piece by the BBC. Mr. Lopez turned himself in after his offices were ransacked by the authorities. Two students were SODOM I ED by the Bolivar an Police. The shooters involved in the first day's massacre were identified. They appear in a number of videos and work for Maduro ' s Defense Department.

The people already lost control a long time ago. The current situation where those in positions of power, elected officials, and the wealthy groups are so far apart from the general population that no matter what, there's no fight, too much money and power in the hands of few that really nothing will change. All those protests in Brazil and what came out of it? Absolutely nothing the party just goes on. The same will happen in Venezuela and any other south american country.

Venezuela has two choices, either stay with maduro or sell their soul to the usa oil companies! The oil from Venezuela takes nine times less to reach the usa than it would if it went through from the mideast! We all know how the usa got caught planning how to stage a coup in Ukraine! I doubt violence in Venezuela isn't as bad as the usa with its million people in jails! The world is a war zone, some just think they're better(usa) than others! I'd expel those diplomats also! The Venezuelan opposition is too obvious allied to the usa's payroll! Maduro is a truck driver, those opposition are all studied in the usa… need I say more?

The Latins love dicktakers, They all just keep going around in circles that are difficult to unhitch from, They go from one dicktaker to another, One dicktaker dies another comes to take his place and everyone of them is fucking insane, I Put it down to education or the lack of it more like lT. People are afraid to think for themselves, they have gangs going around forcing the people to join in the dicktakers party they need to be more revolting and send the dicktakers parking back to where they came from.
