Key Takewawys:
1. Bolivia is Iran’s most successful foreign policy project in Latin America. Prior to 2007, Iran had no diplomatic presence in Bolivia.
2. The decades-old Venezuelan-Bolivian military cooperation is what underpins Iran’s advancements, both in the Andean nation and across the rest of the continent.
3. Iran seeks to steer Latin American governments toward an anti-U.S., anti-Israel, and anti-democratic foreign policy posture.
On July 20, Iranian state media reported on a new bilateral defense agreement between Bolivia and Iran. That same day, a sanctioned Iranian cargo ship arrived in the Venezuelan port city of La Guaira to reportedly deliver hundreds of automobiles to the Maduro regime. A few days later, Iran-made fast attack craft and anti-ship missiles were on full display at the Venezuelan Navy’s bicentennial celebration, while Bolivia’s defense minister confirmed that their agreement with Iran includes the transfer of drones to the landlocked Andean nation.
After more than four decades of persistent, systematic penetration of Latin America, Iran is reaching its full geopolitical potential in the Western Hemisphere, prepositioning military assets and armaments in the region. Tehran’s goal is to bring the fight to the United States.
Core to Iran’s effort is developing a state and non-state proxy network in Latin America, much the same way Iran has done in the Middle East. Venezuela and Bolivia are at the top of the list.
