The Supreme Leader of the Iranian Revolution, Ali Khamenei, during a meeting with Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, who is visiting Tehran, and the delegation accompanying him, stressed that “the successful experiment of Iran and Venezuela proved that resilience and resistance is the only way to withstand American pressure and intense synthetic America’s war.” This was reported by the Iranian News Agency (IRNA).

Addressing Maduro, he noted, “Your resilience and the resilience of the Venezuelan people are valued and proud, just as the resistance of the Iranian people thwarted the policy of maximum pressure, and a senior American official recently admitted that the United States was defeated by the Islamic Republic of Iran,” explaining that “Resilience of the Islamic Republic of Iran”. “The government and people of Venezuela have forced the US administration to have a special vision for this country.”

Khamenei welcomed “the signing of a document on twenty years of cooperation between Iran and Venezuela”, noting that “relationships and levels of cooperation should be strengthened and strengthened more than before between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Bolivarian government in Venezuela.”
