In a phone conversation on Tuesday, President Pezeshkian and his Venezuelan counterpart Nicolas Maduro discussed the latest regional and international developments, particularly in light of US provocations against Venezuela. The Iranian president remarked that unity and solidarity are crucial for resisting foreign interventions, and he encouraged Venezuela to continue on its path of dignity and progress.
President Pezeshkian emphasized that Iran's experience shows that the failure of US and Israeli objectives against nations stems from national unity and internal solidarity, which empowers the people.
The conversation also touched on the condemnation of US unilateralism and its use of force against nations at a recent Shanghai Cooperation Organization meeting. The two presidents affirmed their readiness to enhance bilateral cooperation in the face of external pressures.
