U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth confirmed Tuesday that there are no plans to release the full, unedited video of the September 2 U.S. military strikes on a suspected drug trafficking boat in the Caribbean. The refusal has intensified political scrutiny and raised fresh concerns over transparency and oversight, particularly as lawmakers question how the operation fits into the Trump administration’s broader strategy toward Venezuela.

The classified strike has fueled debate in Washington, with critics demanding greater accountability and clarity surrounding U.S. military actions in the region. As pressure mounts, the Pentagon’s decision continues to draw national and international attention.
