Iran Is Operating an Airlift to Venezuela
(Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs) Lt. Col. (ret.) Michael Segall - An Airbus A340 of Iran's Mahan Air landed in Venezuela on April 26, the third flight in a week, with many more slated. Iran is one of the main epicenters of the coronavirus and opposition leader Juan Guaido has warned that the flights to Venezuela endanger its citizens. Iran regards its activity and presence in Venezuela - America's backyard - as a move to create symmetry with the U.S. in response to U.S. activity in the Persian Gulf. Iran views its defiant presence in Venezuela as "facing U.S. shores."
