Venezuela extradites Alex Saab to the USA

According to reports by آخرین خبر and خبرگزاری ایرنا, Iranian media outlets identified with the official line of Tehran, Venezuelan authorities have announced the transfer of Alex Saab to the United States. Saab, who previously served as the Minister of Industry of Venezuela, is considered one of the closest allies of former president Nicolás Maduro.

According to the report by آخرین خبر, this is the second time that Saab has been transferred to the United States. The deal constitutes a significant development in the tense relations between Caracas and Washington, as Saab was at the center of extensive American investigations into corruption and money laundering related to the government in Venezuela.

It should be noted that the sources that reported on the event, the official Iranian news agency ایرنا and the network آخرین خبر, adopt a consistent line of support for Maduro's regime and his partners, and often present US law enforcement measures in the region as actions with political motives.
