translated from Spanish: What if USA disobeys the order of Maduro and his diplomatic staff refuses to leave Venezuela?

“these will be longer than 72 hours that we have had in recent times”.
Venezuelan political analyst Jesus Seguias words define the moment that lives not only Venezuela in terms of its future, but its relations with the United States.
What means the proclamation of Juan Guaidó as”President” of Venezuela and to be recognized on Wednesday that Trump Donald Trump American Government recognized as President of Venezuela to the President of the National Assembly, Juan Guaidó.
A further step in the traditional rivalry between the two countries, exacerbated in recent years by Washington condemning the Government of Maduro, he branded “dictator”.
Guided is was sworn in as the country’s interim President on Wednesday in the midst of a massive mobilization against the Government of Nicolas Maduro in Caracas.
You may also be interested and that triggered the Countdown: Maduro, accompanied by major Chavez pictures and from the iconic balcony of the town of Miraflores Palace, announced that it broke relations with the United States and ordered the expulsion of the resident diplomats in the country within a maximum of 72 hours.
Explains the rebirth of the opposition in Venezuela (and what’s different this time) what followed was something unusual, unpublished: the Secretary of State of USA, Pompeo, said that his staff would not go anywhere.
“United States does not recognize the regime of Maduro as the Government of Venezuela and therefore does not consider that the former President Maduro has authority to break diplomatic relations,” wrote Pompeo on his Twitter account.
Guided did the same thing and in a letter asked the diplomatic representatives of all the countries in Caracas to stay in the country.
“It’s unusual, because who can guarantee the safety of diplomatic personnel of United States for now is not guided, but mature,” says a BBC World Alvaro Jarillo, Professor of international public law of the University national of distance education (UNED) of Spain, “Initially seems very risky, since when those 72 hours while supplies last, Maduro has no legal liability on what happens to these people,” he added.
What may happen then with U.S. diplomatic personnel in Venezuela?
Unexplored terrain despite the counter which made them arrive, Pompeo was also clear in drawing attention to the safety of the personnel.
And it is in this place where again the words of the Venezuelan analyst followed: “If ripe forces them to leave by force or blocks them, as it did in Iran when Khomeini, then Washington will enter into a dilemma military because it is a situation that is endangering the” life of its officials and citizens”.
Case of Iran as said Venezuelan analyst, it is not the first time that U.S. diplomatic staff around the world must face the consequences of a non-recognition of a Government that stays in power.
Perhaps the most emblematic case was the hostage crisis from 1979 to 1981, when 66 U.S. officials remained detained in the premises of the Embassy of the USA in Iran for 444 days. The case was brought to the cinema in the film “Argo”.

“The Islamic revolution led by Khomeini allowed students to take the Embassy. Pompeo in Venezuela’s decision would also put at high risk to its officials”, he compared Jarillo.
“However, may have intelligence or information from another source that allows them to make a decision of that magnitude”, he added.
The pro-Government leader Diosdado Cabello, President of the Plenipotentiary constituent Assembly, threatened on Wednesday to several measures against the Embassy.
“The American diplomatic corps says that they won’t, because they do not recognize Nicolas. Sure they are there. “Maybe the light goes in that area, maybe not get gas”, said during his program on television with the mallet giving”.
However, as said followed: “in 72 hours will have to know what’s going to happen with US These will be longer than 72 hours we have had in recent times”.
The clock is counting.
