Just in time for that fashionable Iranian family who wants to spend their vacation in sunny Caracas, beginning in March, Iran’s national airline has announced that it will begin non-stop flights between Iran and Venezuela. The Islamic Republic News Agency is reporting that this business partnership will improve and enhance the “communications and exchanges” between the two anti-American countries. In the past couple of years, Iranian President Mahmound Ahmadinejad and Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, have developed a brother-in-arms friendship, and have both stated they wanted to save the human race together by completely eliminating the U.S. empire.

Iranian and Venezuelan Flags

According to Saeed Hessami, the Managing Director of Iran’s Islamic Republic Airlines, 250 million dollars has been set aside for the business endevour, and the airline plans to purchase a fleet of brand new Airbus 340 aircraft, which are manufactured and assembled in both Toulouse, France and Hamburg, Germany. The United States has in place numerous economic sanctions against Iran, but the government sponsored airline doesn’t appear to be concerned in the least, and seems to be doing business as usual with numerous European governments.

The Financial Times recently reported:

“The US on Wednesday night voiced its growing frustration over the failure of European governments to toughen financial sanctions on Iran over its nuclear programme. Differences over the sanctions between Washington and European governments threaten to open a new transatlantic division over how to deal with Tehran’s nuclear ambitions, which have until now been papered over.”

Hugo Chazez and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad Embracing

The Associated Press reported that globe-trotting in their brand new high-tech airplanes isn’t the only interest both leaders currently have on their minds:

“The two governments, which already plan to jointly produce everything from bricks to bicycles, and develop oil fields in Venezuela, signed another 11 accords Saturday to explore further opportunities for cooperation in areas like tourism, education and mining.”

It might be wise for President Ahmadinejad to begin ramping up those bicycle manufacturing factories as soon as possible. If Israel gets the urge to flex its military muscle any time soon, bicycles –– and not that new fleet of Airbus planes –– just might be the only mode of transportation in and out of Tehran for the next 50 or so years.
