Managua, Nicaragua (NTN24) Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad landed in Nicaragua on Tuesday ahead of Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega's inauguration in the capital city of Managua. Iranian-Nicaraguan relations hit rock-bottom in the 1980s, after it emerged that US officials had channelled cash from arms sales to Iran to right-wing rebels pitted against Daniel Ortega's then presidency. The two nations have forged strong ties since Ortega's return to power in 2007, with Iran pledging to help the impoverished Central American country to fund a $350 million port and to assist with an ambitious hydroelectric project. Nicaragua is Ahmadinejad's second stop on a political tour of four left-leaning Latin American nations that Washington has said shows its "desperation" for friends. Iran is facing its toughest ever economic sanctions from the United States and faces a trade embargo from the European Union, which currently buys about 20 percent of its oil output. Ortega also received Spain's Crown Prince Felipe who will attend the inauguration ceremony. Ortega thanked Spain for their unwavering support. "We maintain our acknowledgement of the effort Spain has been making with Nicaragua throughout the times. In terms of politics, Spain has been unwavering, in the region and particularly with Nicaragua." Security was tight in the capital as bomb squads patrolled the streets. Ortega, a socialist former guerrilla leader, is set to begin his third term in office on Tuesday after ...

Mientras Estados Unidos intenta cortar su ayuda financiera a Managua, los cables secretos de Wikileaks indican que Washington y sus diplomáticos presionan a Nicaragua para que no estrechen lazos con Venezuela, mientras amenazan a la izquierda de la región, sostiene el escritor político Nikolas Kozloff a RT. En su blog político Kozloff sostiene que EE. UU. mantiene una política hostil hacia Nicaragua sobre el telón de fondo de las elecciones presidenciales de Venezuela, que deben celebrarse el próximo mes de octubre. Los esfuerzos de Washington -según Kozloff- van encaminados a 'torpedear' la creciente amistad entre el mandatario nicaragüense, Daniel Ortega, y el venezolano, Hugo Chávez, para evitar que "desarrollen una alianza más estrecha". El escritor sostiene que la mayor preocupación de Washington radica en la influencia creciente de ALBA, la alianza de Hugo Chávez que reúne a Cuba, Ecuador, Bolivia, Antigua y Barbuda o Dominica, entre otros países. Este viernes la organización mantuvo discusiones sobre el establecimiento de una zona económica común que permita "consolidar su modelo soberano e independiente con participación social, que no explote al ser humano y que esté libre de especulación financiera", según el secretario del bloque Amenothep Zambrano. En otras palabras, la zona pretende que las naciones latinoamericanas puedan reducir considerablemente la presión política que ejerce en la región Estados Unidos, que suele valerse de medidas de chantaje económico ...

Transcript by www.newsy.com BY HARUMENDHAH HELMY ANCHOR ANA COMPAIN-ROMERO Visiting four Latin American countries in five days. That's Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's itinerary this week. As Iran faces increasing economic sanctions from the US and Europe, the media are saying Ahmadinejad's trip is a quest to strengthen ties with its allies. His first stop — Venezuela. Ahmadinejad and Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez are known to share similar anti-American views. (Video Al Jazeera) And CNBC highlights something else the two countries share: their significant oil production. "They're OPEC friends. Venezuela produces some 3 million barrels a day and you add that to Iran's 3.5-5 million and you are already looking at a good chunk of the global demand. If they are to work together in the face of increasing isolation, they could really put up a resistance." On Monday, the Obama administration announced it's expelling one Venezuelan diplomat who it alleges talked to Mexican hackers about possible cyber attacks against the US government. An analyst for Fox News ties this incident with Ahmadinejad's visit. "It has not been verified that the Venezuelan government took these discussions with some Mexican hackers seriously. But I think you have to keep in mind is the point that you mentioned, the timing of this expulsion. It comes right at the time when Iran's president is in Venezuela. And it's this alliance between Venezuela and Iran. A growing tie both economic and ...
