The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela thanked the Islamic Republic of Iran for its strong condemnation of interventionism and military threats from the United States.

“On behalf of President Nicolás Maduro, we express our deep gratitude to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran for its strong condemnation of interventionism and the military threats that the United States is directing against our sovereign homeland,” Foreign Minister Yván Gil said in a post on his Telegram channel.

Gil also asserted that military threats jeopardize the peace and security of the entire region.

“As the Islamic Republic of Iran has pointed out, these are desperate maneuvers that use false narratives, which show the United States' disregard for international law,” Gil said.

The United States government announced a US military deployment in the Caribbean Sea with the participation of 4,000 marines, ships, planes and a submarine on the grounds of fighting drug trafficking.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran condemns the threat of the United States to use force against the national sovereignty and territorial integrity of Venezuela and warns of the dangerous effects and consequences of U.S. adventures for peace and security in the Caribbean region.

These actions by the United States, which continue this country's interventionist and illegal policies against the Venezuelan people, constitute a flagrant violation of the Charter of the United Nations, especially paragraph 4 of Article 2, which prohibits the use of force or threat against independent countries, and are a clear sign of the growing indifference of the United Nations government to the fundamental norms and principles of law international.

The Islamic Republic of Iran, recalling the fundamental principles of the Charter of the United Nations concerning respect for national sovereignty and the right of peoples to self-determination, as well as the prohibition of the use of force against independent countries, expresses its solidarity with the people and the government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela and stresses the need for the Security Council and the Secretary-General of the United Nations give immediate attention to the potentially dangerous and threatening situation for peace in the Caribbean region.
