Tehran benefits from an extensive network in South America, involving supporters among local Lebanese Shiite communities, Hizballah cells that launder money for drug cartels, and efforts to sneak operatives overland into the U.S. Recall that Hizballah, with direct help from the Iranian embassy, carried out the 1994 bombing of a Buenos Aires Jewish community center, and the bombing of the city’s Israeli embassy two year earlier. While Venezuela is not the central hub of these efforts, its government has been the one most closely linked to the Islamic Republic.
