Iranian Communications Minister Sattar Pour-Hashemi hosted Venezuela’s Minister of Communications Freddy Nanez, expressing appreciation for the opportunity to strengthen bilateral relations.

During the meeting, Pour-Hashemi underscored the importance of presenting what he called “a true picture” of the recent conflicts in Gaza and Lebanon. He condemned what he described as the Zionist regime’s actions, affirming Iran’s commitment to raising global awareness about these events. He also expressed gratitude to Venezuela for its stance against these actions, noting the support shown by the Venezuelan government and people.
