Caracas - Saba:
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro affirmed Iran's right to defend itself against Israeli aggression, questioning the role of the United Nations, which failed to observe the Israeli massacres in Gaza and saw the Iranian response to Israel.
According to Mehr News Agency on Friday, the Venezuelan president said that "the Zionists did not expect the extent of the military capabilities demonstrated by Iran," stressing that Iran has surpassed Israel's capabilities despite the difficult circumstances, a fact the world is well aware of.
He pointed to Iran's overwhelming superiority in launching daily strikes, such that "the Zionists have no choice but to carry out terrorist attacks and threaten Ayatollah Ali Khamenei," declaring his rejection of this unacceptable threat.
He added that the international media frequently manipulates facts to justify Israeli aggression, asking: Is the use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes prohibited? Who prevents it?
