[2] If an agreement is signed, Iranians will be allowed to enter and exit Brazil without visas.
Iranians previously entered the region through Nicaragua without visas and Venezuela maintains a direct flight from Tehran to Caracas, via Syria. [3]
Brazil, the largest country in Latin America, ranks among Iran's top regional allies that include anti-Western nations such as Venezuela and Bolivia.

Chavez, Russia & China are plundering Iran and S Gholam is happy
by Farhad Kashani on Tue Nov 24, 2009 02:57 PM PSTShah Gholam,
Every decent South American, including most Venezuelans I met, know how moronic, dictatorship and how much of a bigot and a savage this Hugo Chavez is. He has turned Venezuela into a IRI like dictatorship, and is rejected by most Venezuelans, and his election is fraud. Again, only a Leftist moron believes IRI and some South American countries are on the right track.
That being said, Chavez and others, are using Iran, our country, just like Russia and china are, to “gain” something, and it has nothing to do with ideological similarities. What Chavez and Khamenei say is to fool people like you to support them because you have mental illness cause “anti Westernism”. I don’t call it simply a political ideology, but a mental illness, cause it has reached absurd levels, nonetheless, it’s only to fool people like you. Chavez is using Iranian people’s oil to strengthen his position, he doesn’t give a rats behind about Khamenei.
Its just so sad that some people who betray Iran by supporting the IRI regime and its allies like Chavez, think plundering Iran’s resources in the name of sick anti American fetish is a good thing.
