UANI Policy Director Jason Brodsky writes: "Planes and fuel tankers from Iran have been crossing the Atlantic en route to Venezuela. They undermine the Trump administration's maximum pressure campaigns against both ruling regimes—as well as the security of the Americas. It's time to stop ignoring the threat. Over a decade ago, former Presidents Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran and Hugo Chavez of Venezuela established a special relationship—finding common cause under a banner of "anti-imperialism." Iran began pledging to invest millions in economic development projects bolstering Venezuela's petrochemical and small-arms ammunition factories."
