Washington has hailed the operation as a major security victory amid its standoff with Iran over a far larger stockpile.
The US has triumphantly announced that it has removed highly enriched uranium (HEU) from Venezuela in what the US Department of Energy (DOE) hailed as a victory for America and “the world.”
In a statement on Friday, the DOE said it had completed the “removal of all remaining enriched uranium from a legacy research reactor” in the South American nation and transferred it to the US for processing and reuse. The quantity removed was 13.5 kg (30 pounds).
The move “sends another signal to the world of a restored and renewed Venezuela,” the statement reads. It also hails “[US] President [Donald] Trump’s decisive leadership” on the issue.
Washington rebooted relations with Caracas after US forces abducted and imprisoned Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in January over narcoterrorism allegations. The uranium removal was coordinated with the Venezuelan Ministry of Science and Technology, the DOE statement said.
Despite the dramatic language surrounding the operation, the material had not been publicly linked to any imminent proliferation threat. The uranium originated from a Cold War-era civilian reactor near Caracas established under the “Atoms for Peace” program that ran from the mid-1950s through the 1970s.
US nonproliferation officials argue that any civilian HEU stockpile, regardless of size, presents a long-term threat of theft, diversion, or trafficking and should eventually be removed from circulation. The Venezuela transfer closely resembles dozens of similar HEU-removal operations carried out over the past three decades as part of routine US- and IAEA-backed nonproliferation programs targeting civilian research reactors.
Even at the height of Washington’s hostility toward Maduro, US accusations against Caracas centered on drugs trafficking and corruption, not on any Venezuelan nuclear threat to the American homeland.
The announcement of the removal comes as the US has reached an impasse with Iran over its far larger stockpile of enriched uranium, estimated at roughly 440 kg, which Trump has repeatedly described as a major threat to US security.
Washington has demanded Iran surrender, export, or dilute its highly enriched uranium stockpile, pushing for a long-term suspension of enrichment along with strict verification measures. Iranian officials have rejected these demands as “maximalist,” insisting enrichment is a sovereign right under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
What a load of propaganda!
The portrayal of the U.S. as a global savior overlooks a devastating reality.
U.S. mililtary interventions since 9/11 alone have directly killed over 360,000 CIVILIANS, with conservative estimates of total deaths, including those from indirect effevts like famine and disease, reaching over 4.5 million.
4.5 million CIVILIAN deaths in 25 years!!!
These actions have not alleviated poverty but have often entrenched it, profiting only the USA and their vasall elite ‘friendly’ nations, including NZ elites and corporations. For ezample In Afghanistan, 20 million people face severe food shortages, and in Yemen USA actions have contributed to a humanitarian crisis where millions are displaced and suffer from cholera and starvation. Warfare via sanctions on countries like Venezuela, Iraq and Iran have collapsed economies, pushing tens of millions into poverty and limiting access to life-saving medicine. For many countries USA foreign policy has been a primary driver of death, displacement, and poverty, not a solution.
Further, the USA has a long history of military and covert interventions aimed at changing foreign governments for the benefit only for the american people. The USA has conducted nearly 500 interventions in over 80 countries since 1776, including invasions, bombings, coups, and covert operations. This number does NOT include the sponsored wars like Ukraine. Here some examples afain: regimes thej changed include the 1953 coup in Iran, the 1954 coup in Guatemala, the 1973 coup in Chile, and the 2003 invasion of Iraq. During the Cold War alone, the U.S. made 65 covert and 6 overt attempts at regime change. More recent actions include the 2011 destruction of Libyan society, support for opposition in Syria (divide and conquer), and military actions in Venezuela (2026) and Iran (2026) aimed at regime change.
The USA, which really is blackmailed/corrupted by the ‘influence’ of the jewish international banking cartel, is the global terrorist number 1.
Let’s see…
Steal the oil, attack fishermen on the high seas thinking they’re transporting drugs for the Cartels, and now steal the enriched uranium from a sovereign country….
Why does this ops mirror the Strait of Hormuz?
It certainly has the IDF / Mossad influence behind it all via Trump…!
In the meantime, Predictive Programming is well under way…with regard to the current ‘World War Three Energy Crisis, remember the opening credits to these two movies?

“How DARE that Orange imbecile not let all these countries have enriched uranium!”
“This is all Israel’s fault”
“Something something zionists!”
