The alliance between Iran and Venezuela has been building for some time. Yet this important, strategic relationship continues to be ignored in the mainstream media.
With the revolution in Iran showing no signs of abating, but instead growing in strength, many leading Iranians are now looking to Venezuela as a safe haven.
Not only does the Islamic Republic have international friends, it also has a complex network of proxies operating within Western countries. Should the regime fall, it could conceivably regroup and rebuild, thanks in part to the financial benefits that came out of the disastrous 2015 nuke deal that saw over $100 billion flow into the Islamic Republic’s coffers.
The Trump administration, however, did stymie the Islamic regime to some degree with new sanctions.
The Iranian regime will likely broaden its international outreach in the coming weeks, in an attempt to shore up its position.
“Exclusive: Iranian Regime Eying Venezuela As Sanctuary For Leaders,” Iran International, December 7, 2022:
Dead worried about their fate in case of a revolution in Iran, the Islamic Republic’s officials have started looking for safe havens, especially Venezuela, their close ally.
Western diplomatic sources told Iran International that the Islamic Republic has started negotiations with its Venezuelan allies to ensure they’d offer asylum to regime officials and their families should the situation worsen, and the possibility of a regime change increases.
According to these sources, a delegation of four high-ranking regime officials visited Venezuela in mid-October for negotiations to ensure that the Caracas government would grant asylum to high-ranking officials and their families in case “the unfortunate incident” happens.
In early-November, an unnamed source at Tehran’s Imam Khomeini Airport told Kayhan-London that three flights a day were taking off with “a considerable amount of cargo” bound for Venezuela, adding that “these people get their suitcases out in hours, with fewer passengers and flights. This began about two weeks ago, and we see these movements about two or three times a day.”
“Initially, my colleagues and I thought these were embassy employees, though we noticed their car number plates didn’t belong to any embassy. We don’t know what they are transferring, and whether they are leaving the country with all the luggage or not. Because they won’t let us examine closely. We just know that in past weeks, every day there are three to four flights to Venezuela,” the source said.
According to another report by the website of UK’s Daily Express in October, top officials of the Islamic Republic were reportedly attempting to secure British passports for their families to exit the country amid the uprising against the regime following the death of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old woman who was killed in police custody in September.
Citing an unnamed Iranian source, the Daily Express also claimed that officials have been chartering up to “five flights a day” for their families, adding that some sections of “Tehran’s main airport” have been taken over as a fast-track area for their own family and friends to escape the country.…..

Makes perfect sense, since members of this regime are unlikely to be welcome in any of their sunni neighbors, including Pakistan. Nor in any of their shi’a neighbors, like Iraq or Azerbaijan. After its experience w/ Iran, I doubt that Iraq will wanna repeat the mistake it made before 1979 when it sheltered Ayatollah Ruholla Khomenei for 13 years
That said, if they move to Venezuela, it’ll be easier to nab them if and when we get a sane administration in DC

Arggghhhh! We so do not need them in the UK, looking to succeed here where they will have failed in Iran.
DHZ says
President Maduro only accepts cash so they may need to up their corruption game before moving day.
Alkflaeda says
Especially with the rate of inflation in Iran.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Well, Venezuela’s inflation is pretty high as well, so they may well be at par w/ Iran in that department
Alkflaeda says
My thought was that as soon as the Iranian VIPs collect a bribe it will have devalued, so would take longer to build up anything they were going to pay over… have to admit I’m not much of an economist, so not quite sure how it would work if both currencies are devaluing madly. I guess Venezuela could demand inducements in dollars

Nazis found nice safe homes in many South American countries after the fall of Nazi Germany why not the Jihadist of Iran after the fall of their maggot empire in the tradition of the the Red Green axes of South American communist and Jihadist hating western cultural Moslems!
Walter Sieruk says
That scheming relationship between heads of Communist Venezuela and that Islamic tyranny of Iran is but one of the many aspects of the Red/Green alliance.
Moreover, that above picture of those two evil presidents of horrific regimes of the Devil joining hands together , is a very strong ponderer of the verse of Proverbs 11:21 from the Bible.
Which reads “Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not go unpunished.” [K.J.V.]
