Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez had a few choice words to say about the international economy and U.S. diplomatic efforts in Iran.“Capitalism needs to go down. It has to end. And we must take a transitional road to a new model that we call socialism" said Chavez during his state visit to Iran. Chavez also blamed the U.S. and Great Britain for imposing a financial model that exacerbated the global financial crisis.
Aside from the interview, Chavez also expressed doubts that the U.S. can seek peaceful relations with Iran. "I don't have much hope, because there is an empire behind him. He's the president of an empire," Chavez said about U.S. President Barack Obama.
Earlier today, Venezuela and Iran strengthened their economic ties:

Chavez, a vocal cheerleader in Latin America for Iran and its nuclear ambitions, was quoted as saying that the two countries should "further strengthen their trade cooperation."
