He emphasized that a direct comparison between the two nations is misleading due to Iran&#8217;s unique circumstances. Venezuela&#8217;s historical role as a U.S. backyard creates a different context. Trump&#8217;s indifference to international regulations and the UN Charter, which honors the sovereignty of nations, is a clear violation that he seems to overlook.Zanganeh stated that what is crucial is America&#8217;s, particularly Trump&#8217;s, insatiable greed for territorial acquisition. For instance, Trump&#8217;s interests in Ukraine reflect a desire for wealth, resources, and land. Moreover, concerning Venezuela, Trump has used rhetoric implying that Venezuelan oil belongs to America, even claiming that &#8216;Venezuela has stolen America&#8217;s oil.&#8217; Such statements arise from a distinct context, and Iran&#8217;s situation is entirely different; Iran is neither a U.S. backyard nor does it share a similar population or political system with Venezuela.The hidden agreements among global powers should not be overlooked. Zanganeh addressed Russia&#8217;s stance on the U.S. actions in Venezuela and the non-functioning S-300 systems, suggesting that we are at a historical juncture where clandestine agreements exist. Russia may have reached an accord with the U.S. regarding Ukraine, and similar arrangements could be in place for Venezuela. Furthermore, China might also have negotiated terms with Trump and Maduro.He stressed that these agreements should not be ignored, as relying on any of these powers is misguided; each pursues its own interests. China&#8217;s primary motivation is energy security, and if the U.S. commits to supplying energy to China, it may align itself with behind-the-scenes agreements with the U.S.This international analyst added that we must consider the depth of these issues. It remains unclear whether the entire American populace, Congress, or even senators support Trump&#8217;s actions. Additionally, a significant number of Venezuelans living in the U.S. or other Latin American communities may not fully endorse these policies.He continued by noting that the people of Venezuela may be unable to voice their opinions due to the pressure from Maduro&#8217;s regime. However, undermining a nation&#8217;s sovereignty and abducting its president is a form of humiliation for the society, indicating that the community lacks the capacity to resolve its own issues.In conclusion the similarities between Venezuela and Iran are minimal. Iran has electoral processes in place allowing its citizens the right to express their opinions and dissent which is not the case in Venezuela.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>International analyst highlights President Trump&#8217;s blatant disregard for international laws and the United Nations Charter, which respects national sovereignty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":581,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[64],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21302","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-palestine"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ghodsnama.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21302","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ghodsnama.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ghodsnama.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ghodsnama.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/users\/581"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ghodsnama.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21302"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/ghodsnama.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21302\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ghodsnama.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21302"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ghodsnama.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21302"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ghodsnama.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21302"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
