Inside the CIA's covert operation: How Maduro was betrayed from within

WISE NEWS PRESS / WASHINGTON, USA — JANUARY 05, 2026

The United States military intervention in Venezuela, dubbed "Operation Decisive Solution," was not merely a sudden aerial assault but the culmination of a sophisticated, months-long intelligence web woven by the CIA and NSA. General Dan Caine confirmed that the success of the mission relied heavily on a covert ground network and real-time intelligence provided by an individual close to Nicolas Maduro.

Planning for the operation intensified in early December, with President Donald Trump ultimately giving the strike order at 10:46 PM local time once weather conditions cleared. The mission involved 150 aircraft, including B-1 bombers, F-22, and F-35 stealth fighters, launched from 20 different land and sea bases across the Western Hemisphere to neutralize Venezuela's integrated air defense systems.

Months of Prototyping and the "Inner Circle" Betrayal

According to investigative reports, the CIA had maintained a specialized team on the ground since August to monitor Maduro’s daily routines. Elite units, including Delta Force, reportedly constructed a full-scale replica of Maduro's safe house to practice the breach repeatedly. Intelligence sources revealed that a high-ranking official within Maduro’s immediate circle acted as a confidential informant, providing the exact coordinates of the Venezuelan leader during the final raid.

Surgical Strike on the Presidential Complex

At 2:01 AM Caracas time, US Special Forces reached Maduro's complex, maintaining the element of surprise despite coming under fire. Supported by real-time data from intelligence teams, the ground forces successfully detained Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores. The US Department of Justice took custody of the pair immediately. General Caine confirmed there were no US casualties, noting that Space and Cyber Commands played a vital role in blinding Venezuelan radar and communications during the extraction.

The Washington "War Room"

The operation was managed by a core group of senior officials including National Security Advisor Stephen Miller, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and CIA Director John Ratcliffe. This team held secret meetings for months, awaiting the "perfect window" for the strike. Following the detention, US forces began their withdrawal from Venezuelan airspace, supported by electronic warfare aircraft and fuel tankers positioned discreetly throughout the region.
