SAEDNEWS: Iranian Parliament Speaker Qalibaf condemned the Trump administration’s aggressive actions in the Caribbean, reaffirming Iran’s solidarity with Venezuela and emphasizing that recent conflicts should not disrupt bilateral agreements.
According to Saed News, citing ISNA, Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf, Speaker of the Iranian Parliament, on Saturday, 29 August, held a phone call with the President of Venezuela’s National Assembly to condemn the Trump administration’s adventurous actions in the Caribbean, particularly against the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.
During the call, Qalibaf highlighted the incidents caused by the U.S. regime against Venezuela and condemned America’s pretexts against the country.
He also praised Venezuela’s positions during the 12-day war waged by Israel and the U.S. against Iran, stating: “We condemn the Trump administration’s adventurism in the Caribbean and clearly express our support and solidarity with the government and people of Venezuela, as we consider Venezuela a friend and ally.”
The Parliament Speaker emphasized that neither the 12-day war against Iran nor threats against Venezuela should interrupt the implementation of bilateral agreements; rather, relations should be developed in a practical and actionable way.
Jorge Jesús Rodríguez Gómez, President of Venezuela’s National Assembly, stated that not only Venezuela but all countries and their people appreciate Iran’s confrontation with Israel, as the Zionist regime’s actions target all humanity.
He described U.S. imperialism against Venezuela as aggressive, noting that no country or even the UN believes their claims. Venezuela is prepared to respond to any U.S. actions.
He further dismissed U.S. allegations regarding drugs, asserting that Venezuela is neither a producer nor a transit country for drugs, while the U.S. is the largest consumer, and its economy relies in part on money from drug trafficking after laundering and transfer.
Rodríguez Gómez also highlighted that Venezuelan citizens have held large-scale protests across cities, declaring their readiness to defend and protect their country.
