Summary:
The Trump administration’s military operation that led to the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro is seen as a significant setback for Iran, a long-term ally of Maduro. Iran and Hezbollah have used Venezuela as a base for terrorism, drug trafficking, and regional power projection, with a military partnership involving drone technology. Experts note that Iran’s interests in Latin America were already weakened by political changes in Bolivia and see Maduro's capture as potentially damaging to Tehran’s influence and resources in the region. The Iranian Foreign Ministry condemned the U.S. military action as a violation of Venezuela’s sovereignty.

Scripture: Psalm 33:10-11
"The LORD nullifies the counsel of the nations; He frustrates the plans of the peoples. The counsel of the LORD stands forever, the plans of His heart from generation to generation."
Commentary:
When world powers make bold moves—like targeting leaders or disrupting alliances—the immediate impact is felt on global stages but also in small, everyday routines for ordinary people. Human plans, even those involving military operations and longstanding alliances, can be dramatically upended overnight. This kind of disruption matches prophetic patterns where earthly schemes collide with a higher agenda. The shifting network of influence between Iran, Hezbollah, and regional actors is just one example of how no plan stands immune from God's overarching purposes in the nations.
Prophetic Trend:
Regional alliances are facing unexpected setbacks, exposing limits in human schemes and revealing deeper contest over influence between powers.
