Anti-US countries forge warm ties in effort to thwart American Imperialism
Source: Iran cements warm ties to Venezuela
Excerpts:
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez enveloped his Iranian counterpart Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in a bear hug on Sunday, as the two men planned to underscore their anti-U.S. rhetoric with a series of investment deals.
"If the US empire succeeds in establishing its dominance, there will be no future for humanity. Therefore, we should save humanity and end the American empire," Chavez told a crowd at the University of Tehran.
Chavez also lambasted Israel, arch-enemy of Iran, for its offensive against Lebanon as "both fascism and terrorism". This chimed with the tone of Iran's president who has compared Israel's conduct to that of Adolf Hitler.
