[80861] U.S. Secretary of State admits: Objectives in Venezuela have not yet been achieved

American admission regarding Venezuela

U.S. Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, admitted yesterday (Tuesday) that Washington has yet to achieve the "desired result" in the Venezuelan arena. The remarks were made as part of the American administration's situation assessment regarding its goals in the South American country, which is under a regime not accepted by the administration in Washington.

According to a report by the channel آخرین خبر, which is identified with the official line of Iranian media that criticizes U.S. foreign policy, Secretary Rubio openly admitted that the United States has not yet reached the goals it set for itself in Venezuela. The channel فارس بین‌الملل و سیاست خارجی, which is close to the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, also echoed the statement as part of the narrative emphasizing the failure of American pressure in the region.

This statement comes at a time when Washington continues to employ diplomatic and economic measures against the regime of Nicolás Maduro. The use of the quote from Rubio by media outlets identified with Iran is intended to portray American policy as one that is in retreat or stagnation in the face of the administration in Caracas.
