Raisi also proposed further cooperation through exporting technical and engineering services from Iran. This announcement comes amid ongoing sanctions imposed on Iran and these three Latin American countries by the US.
The strategic partnership may be seen as an effort to counter the effects of US sanctions, indicating Iran’s attempts to consolidate alliances and expand relations in the face of increasing international pressure.
