文章声称，美国总统唐纳·川普在周五晚间接近晚上11点下令展开夜间行动，在加拉加斯的住处拘捕委内瑞拉领导人尼古拉斯·马杜罗；数小时内，马杜罗与妻子西莉亚·弗洛雷斯即被押上直升机并转移至两栖攻击舰「艾沃·吉马号」（USS Iwo Jima）。文中并描述川普与多名高层在佛罗里达州马阿拉歌现场观看行动，并于周六召开记者会对外说明。

文章说，行动筹备历时数月，自8月起有一小支CIA团队在地搜集「习惯与移动模式」等细节；同时，美方在加勒比海周边加大军事部署，称有超过14,000名美军进入该区，并搭配数十架军机、军舰与一艘航母。依文中说法，美军在12月初即具备执行能力，但因天候不佳曾延后，并「等了四天」才下令出击。

文章描述，命令下达后有超过150架军机自陆海合计20处起飞，先压制防空与通讯，并使加拉加斯大范围停电；遭打击目标包含加拉加斯周边军事与通讯设施，以及北方30公里的主要港口拉瓜伊拉与东方约120公里的伊圭罗特机场。直升机于约凌晨2点接近目标时遭到射击，文中引述专家称最危险的是接近与降落的60–90秒；另称有1架直升机受损仍可飞行、2名美军受伤但无人死亡，并预期将马杜罗押往纽约面临联邦毒品与「毒恐」相关指控。

The article claims that around 11pm Friday, President Donald Trump ordered a nighttime US operation to seize Venezuela’s leader Nicolás Maduro from his compound in Caracas. It says Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, were captured within hours and flown by helicopter to the USS Iwo Jima, while Trump and senior advisers watched from Mar-a-Lago and then spoke publicly on Saturday.

It further claims the raid took months of preparation: a small CIA team had been on the ground since August to map Maduro’s routines, and Washington conducted a regional build-up described as over 14,000 US troops plus dozens of aircraft and warships and an aircraft carrier. The piece says forces were ready by early December, but weather delayed the launch; Trump is quoted as waiting four days before giving the “go” order.

Operationally, the article describes more than 150 aircraft launching from 20 land-and-sea locations to suppress air defenses and communications, contributing to widespread power loss in Caracas. It lists strikes on military and communications sites, plus targets at La Guaira (30km north) and an airport at Higuerote (about 120km east). It says helicopters took fire near 2am; a cited expert highlights the most dangerous 60–90 seconds on approach. One helicopter was damaged but flew, two US troops were injured, none killed, and Maduro is expected to be taken to New York for federal drug and “narco-terrorism” charges.
