Iranian Speaker: Venezuela's Visit Aimed at Thwarting Enemies' Plots

Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf said that his trip to Venezuela aims at foiling enemies' schemes and enhancing relations between the two countries.
Heading a delegation to Venezuela, Qalibaf said his visit to the South American country aims to neutralize enemies' plots and deepen cooperation between the two allies.Highlighting shared struggles, he described “the long battle of Iran and Venezuela against global arrogance” as a key commonality between the two countries, warning of the dangers posed by hegemonic powers.Addressing Tehran-Caracas relations, the parliamentarian emphasized that since Iran and Venezuela share both enemies and allies, strengthening their bilateral ties is more important than ever.
Iranian officials say Tehran’s relations with Caracas are not ordinary diplomatic ties, but are of a strategic nature.Back in June 2023 and during an official visit by the late President Seyed Ebrahim Rayeesi to Venezuela, Tehran and Caracas announced their decision to increase the volume of bilateral trade to 20 billion dollars. In June 2022, Iran and Venezuela signed a 20-year partnership agreement aimed at expanding bilateral ties in various fields during President Nicolas Maduro’s visit to Tehran.
Welcoming Qalibaf, Venezuelan Foreign Minister Ivan Khel Pinto praised Iran as a guarantor of peace, commending the Islamic Republic’s leadership for its resilience over the past 46 years in overcoming challenges and resisting US pressures.“Iran’s enemies have done everything in their power—from sanctions to war—but they have failed to achieve their goals,” Pinto asserted, adding, “Iran’s victory is considered Venezuela’s victory.”
