U.S. Secretary of State Rubio Warns of Expanding Iranian Regime Influence in Latin America<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In a Fox News interview <\/a>on December 2, 2025,\u00a0U.S. Secretary Rubio warned that the regime in Iran, through its Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps<\/span><\/span> (IRGC) and allied networks, has extended its influence into Latin America \u2014 a development he described as a serious threat to the Western Hemisphere. He said: \u201cIran has planted its flag in our hemisphere; the IRGC and even Hezbollah<\/span><\/span> have an operational presence in South America.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Sec. Rubio defended the Trump-era foreign policy approach as neither isolationist nor interventionist, but rather as calculated and limited: pointing to a past operation against Iran\u2019s nuclear facilities described as a \u201c24-hour campaign,\u201d where B-2 bombers struck targets and returned \u2014 \u201cno prolonged war,\u201d no ground troops, just precise action. He argued that such operations show how American power can be used responsibly to neutralize threats like Iran\u2019s nuclear ambitions without entangling the country in long conflicts.<\/p>\n

He further characterized Iran as part of a broader \u201cradical Islamist movement,\u201d asserting that these regimes \u2014 not content with regional control \u2014 aim to expand globally and see the West as their adversary. Rubio warned that Tehran\u2019s networks in Latin America enable \u201cterror, espionage, and destabilization\u201d through partnerships with local regimes and criminal entities.<\/p>\n

In 15 cities, including Rasht, Tehran, Shiraz, Isfahan, and Hamedan, brave youth posted flyers and held photo rallies, pledging to keep the flame of liberty alive against the current religious dictatorship. Mirza Kuchak Khan (Mirza Yunes), born in Rasht in 1878, was a revolutionary who played a pivotal role in Iran\u2019s Constitutional Revolution. However, he is best known for establishing the Jangal (Jungle) Movement, based in the forests of Gilan, to fight against both foreign occupation\u2014specifically Russian and British forces\u2014and domestic despotism.<\/p>\n
