Iran courts sleazeball Daniel Ortega

Iran Making Push into Nicaragua -Todd Bensman

[A] new partnership [is emerging] with Nicaragua's Sandinista President Daniel Ortega, Iran and its Venezuelan allies...

What worries State Department officials, former national security officials, and counterterrorism researchers is that Iran could stage strikes on American or allied interests from Nicaragua, deploying the Iranian terrorist group Hizbullah and Revolutionary Guard operatives already in Latin America.

Few Nicaragua observers believe Iran has any obvious need for trade ties with one of Latin America's poorest countries.

Front and center on many minds is Argentina's contention that Iran, using its embassy as cover, orchestrated two Hizbullah bombings of Israeli and Jewish community targets in Buenos Aires in the early 1990s.
