CARACAS (Dispatches) -- Parliament speaker Muhammad-Bagher Ghalibaf was officially welcomed here Sunday by Venezuelan Foreign Minister Ivan Khel Pinto and other senior officials.

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, Ghalibaf emphasized

that since Iran and Venezuela share both enemies and allies, strengthening their bilateral ties is more important than ever.

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 U.S. pressures.

“Iran’s enemies have done everything in their power—from sanctions to war—but they have failed to achieve their goals,” Pinto asserted. “Iran’s victory is considered Venezuela’s victory.”
