Maybe No Iranians in Latin America After All?

Contradicting earlier reports that the IRGC was training in Venezuela, the head of USSOUTHCOM says he's seen no evidence of it.

The head of U.S. Southern Command, General Douglas Fraser, said Iran was bolstering its relations with Venezuela.

“We see a growing Iranian engagement with Venezuela,” Fraser told reporters.

Iran has a “diplomatic, commercial presence” but “I haven’t seen any evidence of a military presence,” he stated.

There was no indication that Iran had sent arms to Venezuela, he added.
