Iranian president to visit Venezuela, Cuba [View all]
http://news.yahoo.com/iranian-president-visit-venezuela-cuba-131516559.htmlIranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is to visit Venezuela and Cuba as part of a four-nation Latin America tour in the second week of January 2012, an official said Wednesday.
Ahmadinejad will also visit Nicaragua and Ecuador on the trip, his international affairs director, Mohammad Reza Forghani, told the official news agency IRNA.
All the countries are left-leaning and share an ideological antagonism towards Iran's arch-foe, the United States.
-----------------
The trip was announced ahead of new sanctions expected to be imposed by the United States and Europe on Iran's oil and financial sectors in a bid to halt Tehran's controversial nuclear programme.
