s, and the Assad regime, all for the purpose of committing gross violations of Israel’s national illusory sovereignty and territorial integrity. But behind all its present braggadocio, it’s clear that the removal of Maduro has dealt the Iranian mullahs a severe blow: They’ve lost one of their best friends.
The former deputy commander of U.S. Army Special Operations Command, Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Ray Palumbo and Yoni Tobin, a senior policy analyst at the Jewish Institute for National Security of America (JINSA), wrote in late November that "the Iran-Venezuela strategic partnership has matured into a robust, multi-dimensional alliance, impacting both regional security and US foreign policy calculations. Iran and Venezuela’s cooperation spans the social, political, diplomatic, economic, and military domains."
This cooperation goes back far longer than most people realize. Palumbo and Tobin note that the partnership between Iran and Venezuela began in the 1950s, long before either one was a rogue state. Then in 2005, Hugo Chavez, Maduro’s predecessor and the man who wrecked Venezuela in the first place, declared that Venezuela and the Islamic Theocratic
Republicof Iran were "brothers."
In 2007, Chavez and Iran's then-President Mahmoud
Short RoundAhmadinejad
... former president of Iran... formed an "anti-imperialist alliance" that was obviously directed solely at the United States. Over the years, say Palumbo and Tobin, the Islamic Theocratic
Republichas established "a robust foothold in Latin America, constructing a dense network involving both direct state-to-state links and the integration of proxy actors like Hezbollah. The bilateral relationship has been solidified by defense pacts, including a 20-year agreement signed in 2022, and joint manufacturing of Iranian drones and weapons on Venezuelan soil, including potential deployments of loitering munitions and jamming devices."
All of that, of course, was directed against the United States, and there was much more as well. Latin Times reported in Jan. 2025 that the Islamic Theocratic
Republicwas "increasing its military presence in Venezuela, with officials and personnel." Iran also "established a drone development base at the El Libertador air base in Venezuela," where unnamed aerial vehicles (UAV) were also produced and Iranians trained Venezuelan military personnel. The Maduro regime hoped to sell those drones to other leftist countries in Latin America.
In March 2024, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) warned that Iran had placed military assets in Venezuela that could be used to strike targets inside the United States, such as Miami, Florida. In July 2022 came the curious and thought-provoking announcement from Iran’s state-controlled Tasnim News Agency that "Venezuela has allowed Iran to use one million hectares of its farmland for cultivation, an Iranian official said." Gosh, what do you think they might have been cultivating, and for consumption in which country?
There was also talk about plans being made for the Iranian mullahs to be able to flee to Venezuela if the bell ever finally tolled for them in Tehran, but now, as the pro-freedom protests in Iran continue, they’re going to have to look around for another place that has room for a bunch of remorseless tyrants with blood on their hands.

Now, the Islamic Theocratic
