Last December 21st, the Italian daily La Stampa published a story putlining the real meaning of the Chavez-Iranian alliance.
Regular flights between Caracas, Damascus and Tehran constitute a device for Venezuela to help Iran send Syria material for the manufacturing of missiles, according to La Stampa. The flights are actually part of a 2006 military cooperation agreement signed between Syria and Iran. The materiel is destined for the “Revolutionary Guards,” the main force protecting the Iranian regime, according to the newspaper. In exchange for this materiel, Iran has provided Venezuela with members of its revolutionary guards as well as its elite “Al Quds” unit to strengthen Venezuela’s secret services and police.
