Venezuelan Ambassador to Iran: Chavez, Ahmadinejad Are The New World Leaders

Venezuelan Ambassador to Iran David Velasquez has said that the Venezuela’s and Iran’s establishment of a refinery in Syria is part of the close Iran-Venezuela energy cooperation, and said that his country was willing to sell Iran up to 20,000 barrels of refined oil daily at market prices.

He said that Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad were the new world leaders.

The Ahwazi-Sunni opposition organization in Iran stated that Iran had set up a committee headed by Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) commander Mohammad Ali Jafari that was acting secretly, via straw companies, to secure supplies of petroleum distillates that would be needed by the IRGC and the Basij in time of war. He added that secret storage depots for the fuel had already been set up.
