The Iranian delegation’s trip to Venezuela was covert. So much so, the flight was registered as a cargo flight in order to prevent its true nature from being exposed. The delegation’s visit took place under heavy security by Venezuela’s presidential guard. 

The Iranian delegation held a series of meetings with senior officials in Venezuela, including a long meeting at the hotel with Tareck el-Aissami, minister of industry and oil and former vice president of Venezuela. Hamid Arab-Nejad and Seyed Bader al-Din Na’imi Musavi visited Venezuela again on December 17th, and held meetings with local officials.
