The USA is tightening the noose around Venezuela. Venezuelan airspace has been closed.

The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued a warning to airlines recommending maximum caution when flying over Venezuelan airspace due to a deteriorating security situation and increased military activity. Satellite navigation systems are being disrupted, which poses a risk to civil aviation. In response, several international carriers have canceled flights from Venezuela, although some services are still operating.

Venezuelan President Maduro called U.S. military moves a threat and possible attempts to overthrow his government, stating that Venezuela is prepared to defend its sovereignty and possesses thousands of Russian-made surface-to-air missiles. Some scenarios also include secret CIA operations and possible U.S. ground actions in Venezuela.

Diplomatic resolution of the situation is still being discussed, but some analyses suggest that reports of possible U.S. military interventions and increasing military activity are likely to continue, with the closure of Venezuelan airspace and restrictions on civil aviation being part of the security measures in this tense area.

Overall, the situation is highly unstable and may have impacts on regional security as well as global geopolitics, with the main risks being the possibility of open conflict, disrupted air traffic, and continued U.S. pressure on the Venezuelan regime.
