I had the pleasure of meeting with Reza Pahlavi. We exchanged insights on our respective struggles and aligned our efforts toward a shared purpose: the liberation of Iran and Venezuela from oppression. I expressed my deep admiration for the Iranian people, who continue to fight for their future with immense courage in the face of brutal repression.

As authoritarian regimes deepen their criminal cooperation, those of us who stand for freedom must coordinate even more closely. The alliance between Caracas and Tehran has turned Venezuela into the epicenter of Iranian influence, jeopardizing the security of the entire Western Hemisphere.

The survival of these regimes is not only a tragedy for our citizens—who overwhelmingly demand democracy—but a direct threat to global stability and the United States. By using Venezuela as a primary platform, the Iranian regime fuels instability, terrorism, and transnational criminal networks that extend far beyond its borders. A free Iran and a free Venezuela are more than just goals; they are essential conditions for a secure and democratic world.

Venezuela and Iran will be free!!
