On behalf of the President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, the Minister of Popular Power for Foreign Affairs, Yván Gil, thanked the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran for its firm condemnation of the continued violation of international norms by the United States (USA), after illegally confiscating a plane from the Venezuelan State.

“We agree that the actions of the United States jeopardize the peace and security of global aviation,” said the Venezuelan Foreign Minister in a message posted on his social networks.

The spokesman for the Iranian Foreign Ministry, Naser Kanani, said that the Persian nation “emphasizes the need to respect international laws and regulations. By confiscating the Venezuelan president's plane, the United States has violated international rules and regulations, since its action was contrary to the 1994 Chicago Convention on International Civil Aviation. The Islamic Republic considers this US measure unacceptable.

He added that “such a coercive unilateral measure taken by the United States against other nations will create chaos, expand banditry and endanger aviation peace and security.”

Kanani highlighted that Tehran supports the South American country to preserve and recover its properties that belong to the Venezuelan people. He also stressed the need to deepen international cooperation to counter unilateral US measures and sanctions.
