The Biden administration is warning Venezuela and Cuba to turn away Iranian ships believed to be carrying arms to Caracas, Venezuela, vowing to take “appropriate measures” to deter the “threat” to America and its allies in the West.
As the ships have traveled across the Atlantic Ocean, Caracas is leveraging the situation for relief from U.S. sanctions imposed by the Trump administration, officials told Politico.
U.S. intelligence has evidence one of the ships, the Makran, is carrying fast-attack boats for Venezuela, and satellite images in May showed seven such vessels loaded on to the Makran, according to intelligence and defense officials, Politico reported.

A new month begins today -- the month of Tammuz. I recently heard a wonderful thought on daily renewal from the writings of the holy Baal Shem Tov, founder of the Chasidic movement:When a person awakens from sleep, he must pay attention to three things: his first thought, his first words, and his first action. We express ourselves, after all, in our thoughts, words, and actions. We need to be strict and precise in ensuring that the start of the day is positive.
