Venezuela president calls on
international community to
respect Iran
The international community
should respect Iran's
sovereignty and prevent a
possible U.S. attack against
that country, Venezuela's
President Hugo Chavez said
Sunday on a television and radio
show.
"We defend the sovereignty of
all nations in the world, and
that is why we demand respect
for Iran's sovereignty, which is
in the first line of a U.S.
attack," he said.
Chavez made the remarks in Hato
Calleja, 630 km southeast of
Caracas, in response to Russian
media reports that suggested the
United States would attack Iran
on April 6.
He said that everyone must act
to hold back the United States
because "it could be Iran today,
and it could be any other nation
that they don't like tomorrow."
Just as the U.S. has a plan to
attack Iran, it also has a plan
to attack Venezuela that could
be activated at any moment, he
said.
He also said he hoped that "the
U.S. people, Congress and
otherworld powers can be
influential in holding back the
madness of U.S. imperialism."
