Bolivia facing questions over shadowy defense pact with Iran
|
[IsraelTimes] Opposition politicians in La Paz and authorities in Argentina demand details of deal signed last week, amid speculation Tehran looking to expand list of clients purchasing drones
The Argentine government and members of Bolivia’s opposition demanded answers Monday following the sealing of an opaque defense agreement between Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
and Bolivia that raised concerns in South America’s Southern Cone that it could be a way for Tehran to boost its influence in the region.

The deal reached last week has particularly raised concerns in Argentina
...a country located on the other side of the Deep South. It is covered with Pampers and inhabited by Grouchos, who dance the Tangle. They used to have some islands called the Malvinas located where the Falklands are now. They're not supposed to cry for Evita...
, where prosecutors have long alleged that Iranian officials were behind the 1994 bombing of the AMIA Jewish community center in Buenos Aires that killed 85 people. Iran has denied any involvement in the attack.
Argentina’s Foreign Ministry sent a note to the Bolivian embassy in Buenos Aires on Monday "requesting information about the scope of the discussions and possible agreements reached during the official visit of (Bolivian Defense) Minister Edmundo Novillo to the Islamic Theocratic Republic of Iran," an official at Argentina’s Foreign Ministry said, requesting anonymity because they were not authorized to speak on the record.
The note from Argentina’s diplomatic headquarters came on the same day as members of Bolivia’s opposition submitted a written request to the government demanding information about the scope of the agreement sealed July 20.
"The defense minister must explain the agreement and why it has been signed with a country that has complications on the international stage when Bolivia is supposed to be pacifist according to its constitution," Gustavo Aliaga, a Bolivian opposition politician who is the secretary of the Defense and Armed Forces Committee in the Chamber of Deputies, told The News Agency that Dare Not be Named.
Iranian Defense Minister Mohammad Reza Ashtiani signed the defense and security memorandum of understanding with Novillo in Tehran, according to a report from Iran’s state-run news agency
...and if you can't trust the state-run news agency who can you believe?...
IRNA.
"The Iranian minister said Latin American countries are of special significance in Iran’s foreign and defense policy based on the importance of very sensitive South American region," according to the IRNA report.
Novillo has yet to give any details on the agreement since returning to Bolivia over the weekend.
"They say that [Iran] will give us drones. Others say they will give us missiles. All of this sounds strange, even more so considering it involves Iran," said the Bolivian opposition politician. "I can’t understand why Bolivia is getting involved in such a complex and difficult relationship."
Sen. Leonardo Loza, who is aligned with the ruling Movement Toward Socialism party, praised the agreement.
"The country has the right to sign these agreements. The United States is the most dangerous country, and Bolivia has the right to sign agreements with other nations," said Loza, who is secretary of the Senate’s Security Committee.
According to the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), based in Washington, Iran could be seeking to sell drones to Bolivia, noting that Ashtiani had said Tehran could help Bolivia with controlling its borders and combating drug smuggling.
"Iran has sought to increase the number of countries that buy Iranian drones in recent years," the Institute wrote in a report.
The agreement comes at a time when Iran has supported Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the government of President Luis Arce in Bolivia has refused to condemn Moscow at the UN General Assembly.
Argentina’s Foreign Ministry demanded explanations from La Paz after the DAIA, an organization representing the country’s Jewish community, warned of the "risks for the security of Argentina and the region" due to the agreement, noting Tehran’s ties to Leb
 ...an Iranian colony situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozeen flavors of Christians. It is the home of Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
-based bad boy group Hezbollah. Both the United States and Argentina have designated Hezbollah as a terrorist organization.
Bolivia and Iran had a close relationship during the government of President Evo Morales (2006-2019), with then-Iranian president Mahmoud Short Round Ahmadinejad visiting Bolivia three times. This alignment caused diplomatic spats with Argentina, most notably in 2011, when, at the urging of Buenos Aires, Bolivia expelled then-Iranian defense minister Ahmad Vahidi. Argentine prosecutors consider Vahidi one of the criminal masterminds behind the AMIA attack.
