The Washington Free Beacon<\/a> is reporting today that Iran<\/a> has increased its undercover activities in Latin America<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Iran is becoming increasingly open about its presence in Latin America and providing its officials with passports from Venezuela<\/a> and other countries, giving them free rein to travel throughout South America<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Iran has forged close ties with countries such as Argentina, Ecuador, Nicaragua, and Bolivia<\/a>, among others.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Luis Heber, a member of the Uruguayan senate, said that Iranian agents\u2014who some suspect are members of the country\u2019s Revolutionary Guard Corps<\/a> (IRGC<\/a>)\u2014have been spotted in his country holding Venezuelan passports.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Officials have determined that there is \u201ca clear penetration of Iran in our country,\u201d Heber said during remarks Sunday before U.S. lawmakers and other Latin American officials.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve also seen Venezuelan passports in the hands of Iranians,\u201d he revealed. \u201cThe penetration of Venezuela by Iran is clear. There is overwhelming information on this.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Heber said Uruguayan officials have spotted at least 10 Iranians carrying Venezuelan passports.<\/strong><\/p>\n

They \u201ccan enter anywhere in Latin America because the passports are legal,\u201d he explained.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Iran\u2019s goal, in part, is to establish deep ties in these countries in order to influence their policies toward America, Israel, and other Western allies, officials said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe threat level has increased, it\u2019s more open,\u201d said Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen<\/a> (R., Fla.), vice-chair of the House\u2019s Subcommittee on the Western Hemisphere<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Iranian threat comes not from espionage as much, but from influencing the ideology of their host country,\u201d Ros-Lehtinen said. \u201cThat\u2019s what they\u2019re aiming for and penetrating [these countries] so they have a presence in Latin America right at the foothold of the U.S.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

And we are negotiating a nuclear treaty with these people?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
