Iran and Venezuela strengthen ties, as Venezuelas president Hugo Chavez met with President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Yesterday, the two countries signed an agreement for Venezuela to export 20,000 barrels of oil to Iran each day.
Fernando Coronil, a professor at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York, joins Daljit Dhaliwal to discuss how the export of oil to Iran undermines any new sanctions. They also talk about this weekends protests in Venezuela and Hugo Chavezs suspension of radio stations.
