Meddling in Venezuela doomed to fail
Zarif backs dialogue between Venezuelan rival factions
TEHRAN (Basirat): Venezuelan Deputy Foreign Minister Ruben Dario Molina met with Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif in Tehran on Sunday to discuss the latest status in bilateral ties as well as ways to enhance cooperation between Tehran and Caracas.
During the meeting, Molina briefed Zarif about the latest development in his
country and thanked Iran for helping Venezuela restore its political stability,
IRNA reported.
Zarif denounced any form of foreign intervention in the internal affairs of
Venezuela and voiced Iran’s support for political talks between the Venezuelan
government and the opposition in order to resolve the issues.
The two sides further said Washington’s interference in Venezuela and other
Latin American countries is a violation of international law, adding such
measures are "doomed to failure.”
President Hassan Rouhani had said earlier that Iran supports the "legitimate
government” of President Nicolas Maduro and that the Venezuelan people will foil
the current plot in the country as before.
Pointing out that Washington is basically opposed to all popular revolutions and
independent countries, the Iranian president said that they want to dictate
their dominance over the world by suppressing the revolutions and the
independent countries throughout the world.
March to prevent intervention in Venezuela
The government of Nicolas Maduro is doing far more for the people of Venezuela
than the U.S. administration by providing free services for its population,
anti-war activist Sara Flounders told RT, condemning the U.S.-led intervention.
The activists, opposing intervention, organized some 150 demonstrations around
the globe on Saturday to show that ordinary people are against any form of
foreign interference. Rallies have been taking place across the US,
Flounders told RT after attending a ‘No War on Venezuela’ rally in New York
City.
