Iranian food ship docks in Venezuela
It is the latest example of cooperation between the two countries in the face of US opposition.
Another Iranian ship has docked in Venezuela, this time carrying food. The delivery indicates the latest example of strong ties between the two countries sanctioned by the United States.
The Iran-flagged Golsan is currently docking on Venezuela's Caribbean coast, according to the ship-tracking website Marine Traffic. The ship carried supplies for the first Iranian supermarket in Venezuela, the Iranian Embassy in the capital city of Caracas said on Saturday.
“Another success in the friendly and fraternal relations between two countries,” the embassy said in a tweet.
A series of Iranian fuel tankers reached Venezuela last month, despite US pressure. Venezuela’s once-thriving oil industry has collapsed amid political and economic instability in the country and because of US sanctions.
