Anti-Western Influence Campaigns in Latin America: Understanding the Russia-Venezuela-Iran Triangle

Latin America has long been a playground for Russia’s anti-Western influence operations. But today Russia isn’t alone in this game: In recent years Iran has become an increasingly prominent player on the continent as well—particularly in Venezuela. In this episode, Izabella Tabarovsky talks with Emanuele Ottolenghi of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies about the growing Russian-Iranian influence on the continent, specifically how the two countries work together to spread anti-US and anti-Western propaganda, circumvent sanctions, and contribute to America’s worsening border crisis.
