Iran condemns US indictment against Venezuela’s Maduro

With Washington dialing up the economic pressure on Tehran, an Iranian government spokesperson blasted the United States for its indictment of Venezuelan strongman Nicolas Maduro. 

“No international law allows the US to interfere in the domestic affairs of other countries and prepare the ground for a coup, overthrow or aggression against an independent state,” Foreign Ministry spokesperson Seyyed Abbas Mousavi said on Friday.
