"From the Middle East to Venezuela: From Crisis to Conflict" with Joseph Humire | MEF Podcast Ep. #19
from Middle East Forum Podcast · host Middle East Forum
The Middle East is more closely connected to Latin America than generally understood. Iran’s links to the region and its establishment of jihadi networks go back to the 1990s (recall the bombings in Buenos Aires). They have grown especially with Maduro’s Venezuela. In addition to local aspirations, this effort also endangers domestic U.S. national security interests.
