Over the last decade, the Islamic Republic of Iran
vigorously increased ties with governments in the Americas. Now, after the
departure of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and the death of Hugo Chavez, many
are wondering if a new era has commenced in Iran-Latin America relations. The
new president, Hassan Rouhani -- a self-described reformer and political
moderate, has voiced his interest in strengthening ties with Latin American
nations, while also improving Iran’s economy and
international reputation first.
On the next Florida Caribe show, we speak to Alejandro “Alex†Sanchez Nieto, a senior research fellow at the Council on
Hemispheric Affairs (COHA) about the complicated and evolving relationship
between Latin America and Iran.
