Israeli media and US lawmakers signal Iran intervention after Venezuela attack

Israeli media and hawkish US lawmakers are signaling potential American intervention in Iran following the recent abduction of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. The Jerusalem Post reported that the US is weighing intervention, with Israel believing the Venezuela operation indicates a new US risk threshold. Republican Senator Lindsey Graham and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo have openly supported regime change, drawing parallels between Maduro's fall and the situation in Iran. This speculation arises amidst mass protests in Iran over a cost-of-living crisis, which has been exacerbated by US sanctions.
