Ortega and Ahmadinejad establish closer relations

Nicaraguan president Daniel Ortega met with his Iranian counterpart in Tehran (image) and both agreed to closer relations between the two countries. “Nothing can get in the way of strengthening the ties between our two countries” said Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in a news conference earlier today. Ortega met with several important political and religious leaders during his visit to Iran.

As we mentioned last week, a pair of Floridian legislators called Ortega, Ahmadinejad, and Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez a “new trio of tyrants.”
