Islamic Republic of Iran’s foreign minister Zarif arrives in Venezuela to start Latin America tour

Nov 7, 2020 8:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams 15 Comments

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif is in Venezuela “at the start of a Latin American tour that will also take him to Cuba and Bolivia.”

Venezuelan Foreign Minister Jorge Arreaza tweeted: “Every high-level visit deepens our strategic alliance, our brotherhood.”

Iran has also been shipping oil and food to Venezuela, and agreed to install its first Iranian supermarket in the country, which is enthusiastic about its friendship with Iran.

In August, U.S. agents seized a multimillion-dollar Iranian fuel shipment headed to Venezuela. It was described as “the largest-ever seizure of its kind.”

It was announced days ago:

The Trump administration plans to use proceeds from the sale of fuel confiscated from Iranian tankers to benefit victims of terrorism, officials announced Thursday. The US military in August seized 1.1 million barrels of fuel from four Iranian tankers bound for Venezuela. The fuel has since been sold, and officials say the proceeds will go to a special fund for victims of state-sponsored terrorism.

Under the Obama administration, Iran was being continuously strengthened, as it would be once again in a Biden administration. Obama hosted a former Iranian official, pro-Tehran lobbyist and an Iranian national security official at the White House numerous times. Iran also reportedly received as much as $33.6 billion in backroom deal payments facilitated by the Obama administration. And all that is aside from the tremendous boon to the Islamic Republic that was the Iran Nuclear Deal.

“Iran foreign minister arrives in Venezuela to start Latin America tour,” Reuters, November 4, 2020:

CARACAS (Reuters) – Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif has arrived in Venezuela for the start of a tour of Latin America, Venezuela’s foreign ministry said on Wednesday, amid intense efforts by Washington to limit Iran’s influence in the western hemisphere.

Zarif is also scheduled to visit Cuba and to attend the inauguration of Bolivian president-elect Luis Arce, who has said he will strengthen ties with Iran.

He was “received by Foreign Minister Jorge Arreaza upon his arrival to the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, where he will carry out an intense work agenda at the highest level,” Venezuela’s foreign ministry wrote on Twitter.

Tehran has become a crucial ally for Caracas as the United States tightens sanctions meant to force President Nicolas Maduro from power….

    “Iran has also been shipping oil and food to Venezuela, and agreed to install its first Iranian supermarket in the country, which is enthusiastic about its friendship with Iran.”

    And when will Iran be shipping its missiles into Venezuela? It it true that there are only a few basic plot lines for all dramas?

    Looking at the picture of two defective leaders, above, which direction do the cooties migrate?

      Wrong. There are already thousands of muslims in the Latin american countries according to PROLADES. The country with less muslims is Nicaragua, and they have approximately 1000 muslims. The current rates of muslims in Latin America are similar to those Europe had 50 years ago. If no one does anything about it, in 50 years or less, Latin America will be having islamic terrorist attacks like the ones Europe is now facing.

        I believed most of the Latinos are practicing Christians /Catholics/, I didn’t know there are so many muslims there. I knew only that there are muslims in Guyana. Long time I want to travel to Latin America, because I heard that the weather and people are not so cold like here where I live and the nature is beautiful. And I never heard about jihadists in Latin America. I hope at least they will not have problems with them… Islam is like a dangerous sickness

          You are right in everything European pagan. Muslims communities in Latin American are still small and “peaceful” because they are in the first stage of jihad (if you would like to know more about jihad stages check https://youtu.be/ERou_Q5l9Gw ). They are quietly multiplying and nobody seems to know anything about them. If you would like to know how muslim communities can rapidly increase, check the short movie “Fitna” from Geert Wilders.

        Mauricio is right–Muslims have especially invaded the “Triple Frontier” region, the tri-border area along the junction of Paraguay, Argentina and Brazil. It is a hotbed of terrorism and drug trafficing. Hizb’allah and Hamas are especially active there.

      Because of SOCIALISM Venezuela is Now the POOREST country in the WORD:

      By the way VENEZUELA means LITTLE VENICE,it is named after an Italian city,ALONSO DE OJEDA(16th century) a Spanish explorer,was there,and saw:

      a village with houses on pillars above water in a lake,it reminded him of Venice’s canals,and he called the village Little Venice.

      1.In 16 years under CHAVEZ Venezuela,through oil sales,got 990 BILLION dollars.

      2.It was like 3X MORE money /year than the COCAINE trafficking industry.

      3.TODAY there is hardly any oil production,but supposedly 33% ( or at least 25%) of the world COCAINE trafficking to the world’s 20 MILLION CRACK ADDICTS comes through Venezuela,via Colombia.

      4. No less than 5 MILLION have left the country,real refugees.

      5.There is HARDLY any GASOLINE or FOOD or MEDICINE.

      6.To go from one city to another is almost impossible,even in the cities hardly ANY BUSES or TAXIS.

      7.In the last few years the vast majority have LOST MANY KILOS in weight.

      8.As stupid also,the OPPOSITION, made up of several parties,headed by GUAIDO,is SOCIALIST.All of them are MEMBERS of SOCIALISTS INTERNATIONAL ( organization that includes ALL the socialist parties in the WORLD)

        I must also add:

        Venezuela has the WORLD’s LARGEST amount of OIL RESERVES,even more than SAUDI ARABIA.

        Even though it received 990 BILLION dollars in money ,it is today around 120 BILLION dollars in DEBT

    The above photograph is a reflection of what the Bible reveals in Proverbs 11:21 which informs the reader “Though hand join on hand ,the wicked ,shall not go unpunished.” [K.J.V.]

    Islam faces opposition in USA, it is starting to face opposition in Europe, so they are heading now to Latin America where they will find a bunch of pacifist ignorants and leftists with their arms opened.
