Iran’s powerful response to Israeli aggression has exposed "Israel" as "nothing more than a paper tiger," affirmed Venezuelan Interior Minister and Secretary-General of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), Diosdado Cabello.

Speaking during a pro-Iran demonstration in Caracas, Cabello emphasized Venezuela's commitment to peace and its unwavering support for the Palestinian people.

He noted that “while many countries remain silent, the majority worldwide applaud Iran’s sovereign response to the rabid dog that is Israel.”

Cabello reiterated Venezuela's solidarity with Iran as it defends peace against "Zionist attacks," asserting that Tehran has the legitimate right to defend itself against any form of aggression.

'No safe place for Zionism'

The Venezuelan minister criticized the United Nations, describing it as “an organization that serves the American empire,” and questioned its silence over atrocities in Palestine.

He stressed that Iran has "raised its courageous voice in defense of honorable peoples" and warned that those celebrating the attack on Iran believed Venezuela, Nicaragua, and Cuba would be next.

Cabello pointed out that “there is no safe place for Zionism in Israel today,” asserting that Iran has demonstrated how vulnerable the Israeli regime truly is.

He also accused the United States of fueling the aggression, stating that Washington, alongside "Israel" and its allies, is now entangled in a conflict that would inspire free nations to rise.

In the same context, the speaker of the Venezuelan Parliament, Jorge Rodriguez, extended “infinite solidarity” to the Palestinian people in their resistance.

He also expressed Venezuela’s unwavering support for the Islamic Republic of Iran, which he described as "a victim of imperialist aggression by the genocidal Israeli entity."

Rodriguez denounced international human rights bodies and courts, accusing them of silence while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu continues the genocide in Gaza.

“I dream of the day when President Nicolas Maduro, together with Venezuela’s revolutionaries, will announce our withdrawal from the International Criminal Court and these lying organizations that fail to defend human rights,” he said.

"You will see us in the streets saying, now and forever, Long live Free Palestine," he declared.

Palestinian and Iranian ambassadors thank Venezuela

Meanwhile, Palestinian Ambassador to Venezuela, Fadi al-Zaben, expressed deep appreciation to President Nicolas Maduro and the Venezuelan people for their unconditional support amid ongoing Israeli aggression.

Al-Zaben condemned "Israel" for killing thousands of civilians with the backing of the US government, criticizing international institutions for remaining silent.

Additionally, Iranian Ambassador to Venezuela, Ali Chegini, reaffirmed that Iran would continue its struggle for justice, freedom, and the defense of its sovereignty.
