Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will attend the
state funeral of the late Venezuelan president Hugh Chavez in Caracas on
Friday. He called Chavez “a dear friend of Iran” and “an anti-imperialist leader.”
“As long as justice, love and freedom are alive, Hugo Chavez will be alive as well. As long as faith, purity and humanity are alive, he will be alive too. As long as nations are alive and strive for the materialization of independence, kindness and justice, he will be alive too,” Ahmadinejad said in a message to Venezuelan acting president Nicolas Maduro.

President Chavez, who died Tuesday, developed a close relationship with Ahmadinejad
and other senior Iranian leaders and visited Tehran many times. The Iranian
government declared Wednesday a day of national mourning across Iran.

With all the looted money the Islamic Terrorist regime has stolen and deposited in Venezuela Ahmadinejad should feel very much at home over there.
Just hope for his sake the Venezuelan guard of honer doesn't repeat what they done like before when they played the old Imperial anthem.
