Maduro Captured – Now What? Congress Grapples With Iran’s Venezuelan Foothold
This week’s edition of “Inside the Capitol” with Alicia Powe examines the future of Iranian influence in Venezuela following the U.S. capture and detention of Nicolás Maduro. A bipartisan group of lawmakers — Reps. Buddy Carter (R-TX), Judy Chu (D-CA), Burgess Owens (R-UT), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Pete Sessions (R-TX), Emanuel Cleaver (D-MO) and Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) — shares perspectives on how Congress can contain and dismantle the authoritarian networks of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and Hezbollah to prevent Venezuela from remaining a platform for Tehran and its proxies in the post-Maduro era.
