Best friends forever? Ahmadinejad visited Chavez

The alliance between the presidents of Iran and Venezuela became stronger as Mahmoud Ahmadinejad visited Venezuela. Officials from both countries signed several agreements designed to boost bilateral trade, develop oil fields, and help Venezuela’s attempt at a U.N. Security Council seat. Both Ahmadinejad and Chavez used the opportunity to spread anti-U.S. vitriol including Chavez supporting Iran’s plans to expand its nuclear capacities.
