ISNJH said:Back in December of 2010 on December 9ths the German daily “Die Welt” ran a report that the government of Venezuela had signed a treaty with Iran for the construction of an Iranian Revolutionary Guard manned missile base in Venezuela.
Venezuela denied this news article and the US pentagon said there was no indication that such a deal had been made or that a site was under construction in Venezuela.
There have been other reports suggesting that the signed deal could have the missiles based in an area located roughly around 11.6952, -69.9583 but there has not been any recent activity in region as shown by google earth that could indicate a new military base in area..
But in some circles the rumors of an Iranian based missile site in Venezuela has continued to circulate and also there have been more reports of Iranian guard personal being spotted in Venezuela.

The only reason he is talking to Iran is the many coup and assassination attempts we've thrown his way. Maybe if we didn't let BP/Exxon/Chevron dictate our Venezuelan foreign policy we could focus better on more important problems like Iran and North Korea.GeorgeA said:sublight said:Do you have some political agenda in tying Hugo Chavez with Iran?

Hugo's hosted visits by Ahmadinejad on a couple of occasions, where they have spoken joyously of a "world without America" or the equivalent malarkey.
I don't think HC is stupid enough to try Cuban Missile Crisis II, but one never knows.
