 The recent meeting between Iranian and Venezuelan leaders signifies an intensifying strategic partnership that could pose a threat to regional and global stability, according to Grey Dynamics, a London-based intelligence firm. The growing collaboration between autocratic regimes, facing international sanctions, aims to evade isolation from global markets. Enhanced relations with China and Russia, as well as plans to bolster ties in politics, energy, and defense are expected. One significant concern is Iran’s increasing influence in Venezuela, capitalizing on its strategic location and narcotrafficking financial opportunities. Experts warn of Iran’s facilitated infiltration in Latin America and possible alliance with narcotrafficking cartels. Additional concerns include Iran’s interest in Venezuela’s uranium—a crucial element for its nuclear program. The bolstered Iran-Venezuela connection is also viewed as critical for Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro’s potential reelection, due to Iran’s economic support. The strategic importance of this alliance is highlighted further amid the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict. Experts hence urge intelligence services to assess these multidimensional threats and foster regional alliances to mitigate them. Original Text by Julieta Pelcastre in -> DiálogoAmericas
