\u201cIAEA urges Iran to restore full access to nuclear sites hit in June strikes,\u201d<\/a> Iran International, 11-19-25.<\/p>\n

An important article reminding readers of this blog that VENZ is one of the entry points into South America for terror, drugs, trafficking, illicit materials, and influence.\u00a0 And the spread of the Revolution and anti-West and darkness.\u00a0 \u201cIran backs Maduro to keep Latin America foothold as Trump increases pressure on Venezuela,\u201d<\/a> Fox, 11-19-25.\u00a0\u00a0Two quotes of the day.\u00a0 First, \u201cIsaias Medina III, a former Venezuelan diplomat at the U.N. Security Council who resigned in 2017 due to Maduro’s human rights violations, told Fox News Digital that “Iran\u2019s partnership with the rogue Venezuelan narco-dictatorship is far from a principled stand for \u2018sovereign rights\u2019 under the U.N. Charter. It is a calculated strategy serving mutual interests in criminal enterprise and asymmetric warfare, posing a direct and evolving threat to U.S. national security,” he said. “This is a partnership for power, not principles. Iran\u2019s engagement centers on deepening military, criminal, and intelligence cooperation that blatantly disregards international norms,” he said.\u201d\u00a0 Second, \u201cDanny Citrinowicz, a senior fellow at Israel\u2019s Institute for National Security Studies, told Fox News Digital that Iran\u2019s public defense of Venezuela reflects deep strategic anxiety inside Tehran. “Iran is extremely, extremely worried that it\u2019s going to lose its main hub in Latin America,” he said. “Losing Maduro will be a strategic loss for Iran, because Venezuela is a strategic hub, not only for the activity in Venezuela itself, but also activity in Latin America in general.”\u00a0 Citrinowicz pointed to the recently exposed assassination attempt on Israel\u2019s ambassador in Mexico, which Mexican authorities linked to operatives with ties to Iran\u2019s Quds Force. According to Citrinowicz, the operation illustrates how Iran uses Venezuelan territory as a staging ground.\u00a0 He said the Iranians “used their presence in Venezuela, mainly the Quds Force presence, in order to gather the right people that actually tried to commit this attack.”\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
