Iran-Venezuela ties, the United States, which is the subject of the (Christian Science Monitor)

Caracas, Venezuela – Libya Muammar Qaddafi has received in recent weeks, Venezuela, Hugo Chávez attention seems to have left his other best friend, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, of Iran forever, Feeling a little left out.

This week underlines his koulutetumpi closer relations with Iran, Fars Province, according to the News Agency of Iran, Tehran's Ambassador to Venezuela, met with the radical Civic Union (UCR).

Mr. Ahmadinejad "in Iran-Venezuela ties in all domains on the expansion will help peace, stability and security in the world," said.

Two of the "brother" of Nations pledged to strengthen their State of the News coverage of the match, but did not mention publicly, at least in the billions of dollars in the previous year inked energy contracts that are now in US-Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told the US House of representatives Foreign Affairs Committee recently, that the United States of America to consider punitive actions if it was found that Venezuela, USA, the fifth largest oil supplier, had violated the sanctions against Iran.

Think you know that in South America? Test your geography.

Iran's export of Venezuelan questionMs. Clinton's comments were in response to Rep. Connie Mack (R), Florida, that the documents provided by the claim, the national oil company PDVSA, the Venezuelan is by sending gasoline to Iran in violation of the comprehensive Iran sanctions, accountability and property, the Act of 2010 (CISADA).

Mr. Mack, is the most vocal critics of USA: n in Venezuela. Earlier this year he called for President Chavez ' thugocrat, "the calling", less than any full-scale economic embargo. "

Venezuela exported barrels at places and also mix with petrol for the parts of the 2009 and 2010, if not millions, of Iran. But PDVSA President and Energy Minister Rafael Ramirez has consistently denied the sanctions busting, saying shipments occurred before July 2010, prohibit actions to support the development, production and export of crude oil and refined oil, Iran tightened CISADA arguments.

What, then, make a visit to Iran, Chávez's ninth last October? In the course of the 11 agreements signed, one provided for in the plans to establish a joint oil shipping company, to build two petrochemical plants and natural gas in the Iranian South Pars, tap the name of the field.

Agreements were more symbolic than substantive, some analysts believe that in such a way as to violate the sanctions, and, as the case may be. No action has been taken, and Chávez, please see the following article in the history of the corresponding agreements failed.

Obama's reaction to Chavez, "we believe that the State Department response to this, by the time of the sanctions and to propose the purchase of all diplomatic channels, rather than Blunt tool uses to restrict support for the Iranian regime in Venezuela – which seems at this stage, the more symbolic than substantive in our view, locate the" J.p. Morgan research, wrote in the recent Note to investors.

Clinton said the United States would require a relatively high burden of proof to take action, which some say the Foreign Relations Committee of the Republican Guard, in a speech made by the documents do not meet the.

"The [Files] don't appear genuine, or at least before the sanctions, the old," says Russ Dallen, a bond trader in Caracas is based on the financial services of the BBO. "Does not mean it does not take place, only shows these are not necessary to prove that the smoking guns."

Less-than-airtight evidence is not likely to deter Chávez is the most vehement critics Havana on the northern side. And with us quickly approaching elections, the motion of censure on him to pressure could grow.

JP Morgan said, cannot be excluded that some of the investors ' moves against the sort of Venezuela as the administration of the courts of the Latino voters in Florida, in the sourthern the Cuban Fidel Castro and his ideological heir, is a way of life of Chavez.

“...Elections in the United States also is approaching (and continues to be one of the most important battleground in the Florida State), we believe in the Republican Guard under the control of the House of representatives is likely to continue to press for the time being "too soft" management administration, Chavez, and we cannot rule out some of the reaction to the Obama administration to carefully crafted before 2012.
