Ahmadinejad in LatAm — Poliquicks
Iran’s Mahmoud Ahmadinejad spent a five day visit to Latin America where he showed that Iran still has allies south of our border. Unfortunately, very little was covered in the U.S. news media. BBC and The Economist magazine can always be counted on to print or broadcast what some chose to ignore.
Mahmoud called on Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez where he got the red carpet treatment. Then he joined Hugo in the presidential inauguration of Nicaragua’s Danny Ortega for Ortega constitutionally dubious third presidential term.
He then flew on to Cuba and Ecuador.
This was his fifth trip to the LatAm region.
The US has down played all these visit as if they never happened and says there is no concern on terrorist activity from Iran.
Funny, I wonder why the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, Quds Force, the foreign terrorist arm of the IRGF, has forces in Venezuela.
Many analyst claims that HizbAllah, a close IRGF surrogate, is involved in cocaine trafficking from LatAm.
HizbAllah has been reported to have access to the Mexican Los Zetas people and drug smuggling routes to smuggle people into the U.S. As things heat up with Iran… guess what might be in store for the U.S.
For Mahmoud and his LatAm host there is surely more than political theater here.
