Iran’s push to bring about the return of the Mahdi through global conflagration is getting a hand from Castroite dictator Hugo Chavez, whose allowing Iranian Missile bases to be built in Venezuela. At the very least this may start a war in Latin America as Columbia, abandoned by the current American administration, feels the pressure to take some sort of action on this new threat. At worst Chavez goes nuclear, literally, as his socialist policies create more shortages in his country. He’ll need a war soon to mobilize his country and the arrogant statements in some quarters that he wouldn’t dare start one with America is ignoring how weak America seems on the world stage now.

From JPost:

BERLIN – The Iranian government is moving forward with the construction of rocket launch bases in Venezuela, the German daily Die Welt wrote in its Thursday edition.

Iran is building intermediate- range missile launch pads on the Paraguaná Peninsula, and engineers from a construction firm – Khatam al-Anbia – owned by the Revolutionary Guards visited Paraguaná in February. Amir al-Hadschisadeh, the head of the Guard’s Air Force, participated in the visit, according to the report. Die Welt cited information from “Western security insiders.”

The rocket bases are to include measures to prevent air attacks on Venezuela as well as commando and control stations.

The Iranian military involvement in the project extends to bunker, barracks and watch tower construction. Twenty-meter deep rocket silos are planned. The cost of the Venezuelan military project is being paid for with Iranian oil revenue. The Iranians paid in cash for the preliminary phase of the project and, the total cost is expected to amount to “dozens of millions” of dollars, Die Welt wrote.

The Paraguaná Peninsula is on the coast of Venezuela and is roughly 120 kilometers from America’s main South American partner, Columbia.

According to Die Welt, the clandestine agreement between Venezuela and Iran would mean the Chavez government would fire rocket at Iran’s enemies should the Islamic Republic face military strikes.

This is meant to put pressure on Israel as much as us, in essence trying to blackmail America into reigning in the Jewish state who are already blaming Iran for the third intifada. This has all the makings for another world war to break out, only this time we have no allies we can count on, and roughly 1/3 of Americans are actively siding with our enemies.
