Khan sir’s viral video claims that Venezuela was destroyed not by bombs but by software. According to him, the malware sent in the name of an update disrupted the power grid, GPS and radar, causing a blackout in the country.
A viral video of well-known teacher Khan sir has sparked a huge debate on social media. It claims that Venezuela was destroyed not by bombs, but by software. Khan sir claims Venezuela was allegedly “switched off”, then taken over by malware sent under the pretext of an update. The malware disrupted power grids, GPS systems and radars, further lending credence to claims of a cyber attack.
In the video, Khan sir can be heard saying, “When they all go inside, then the real game begins. The whole of Venezuela is isolated and now a cyber attack happens… The electricity supply in Venezuela and the power grid is also equipped with computers. And that computer will either be of Microsoft or MacBook. In the name of update, a malware was already sent on that computer. By activating it, a virus was sent. The whole power gets cut off, but until the software is turned on, the entire city goes into darkness. Google’s satellite stops working.
“Microsoft and Google’s data was already taken. Its command and computer systems start hanging. It doesn’t work. Suddenly, the entire radar of a single ship in Venezuela goes blank. The US Cyber Command force was so active,” he adds.

Power grid problems and blackouts
Venezuela has suffered frequent and severe power outages in recent years – including nationwide blackouts in 2019 and 2024. This has been attributed to infrastructure failure, lack of maintenance and collapse of the energy sector. These outages have plunged the country into darkness and disrupted telecommunications, transportation and everyday life.
Government officials have sometimes attributed the blackouts to sabotage or attacks, but experts and opposition figures have consistently pointed to long-standing systemic failures, including the degradation of production and distribution infrastructure due to underinvestment and technological deficiencies.
