Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth<\/a> announced Thursday the launch of Operation Southern Spear, a new mission targeting narco-terror networks across Latin America.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Hegseth said on X that U.S. Southern Command and Joint Task Force Southern Spear will lead a mission to defend the homeland and dismantle narco-terrorists networks across the Western Hemisphere.<\/p>\n

“This mission defends our Homeland, removes narco-terrorists<\/a> from our Hemisphere, and secures our Homeland from the drugs that are killing our people,” Hegseth said.<\/p>\n

The U.S. carried out its 20th strike on alleged drug-tracking boats earlier this week, according to a Pentagon official.<\/p>\n

U.S. forces carried out<\/a> the most recent strike in the Caribbean, killing four suspected narco-terrorists.<\/p>\n

The Navy announced<\/a> in January it would lead Operation Southern Spear under U.S. 4th Fleet and Southern Command using “long-dwell robotic surface vessels, small robotic interceptor boats, and vertical take-off and landing robotic air vessels.”<\/p>\n

The U.S. will use warships in the region, including the world’s largest aircraft carrier, the USS Gerald R. Ford<\/i>.<\/p>\n

CBS News reported that<\/a> President Trump was briefed on potential options for operations in Venezuela, including possible land strikes, but no final decisions have been made.<\/p>\n

Top Democrats voiced support<\/a> for the strikes against narco-trafficking near Venezuela earlier this month.<\/p>\n

“The Western Hemisphere is America\u2019s neighborhood \u2013 and we will protect it,” Hegseth said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
