One of the critical threats to the U.S .national peace and security is that the Iranian regime, while using Latin America as a sanctuary, has been increasing its presence and terror cells there.

As protests continue in Iran, the Iranian regime’s officials are in the process of obtaining passports and asylum from Latin American countries, particularly from Venezuela, at the doorstep of the United States.

According to a recent report:

“Western diplomatic sources told Iran International that the Islamic Republic has started negotiations with its Venezuelan allies to ensure they’d offer asylum to regime officials and their families should the situation worsen, and the possibility of a regime change increases…. a delegation of four high-ranking regime officials visited Venezuela in mid-October for negotiations to ensure that the Caracas government would grant asylum to high-ranking officials and their families in case ‘the unfortunate incident’ happens.”

Three flights a day are leaving Iran to Venezuela with “a considerable amount of cargo,” according to a source at Tehran’s Imam Khomeini Airport

“Initially, my colleagues and I thought these were embassy employees, though we noticed their car number plates didn’t belong to any embassy. We don’t know what they are transferring, and whether they are leaving the country with all the luggage or not. Because they won’t let us examine closely. We just know that in past weeks, every day there are three to four flights to Venezuela.”
