        "summary": "Venezuela has summoned Iran's ambassador to protest what it describes as 'disparaging and inappropriate' remarks about the South American nation. The diplomatic spat follows a video in which Iran's foreign minister reportedly said Iran 'is not Venezuela' in the context of negotiations with the United States. The incident signals a potential shift in the long-standing alliance between the two oil-rich nations, particularly after the recent US-backed ousting of President Nicolas Maduro.",
        "content": "<p>The Venezuelan government summoned Iranian Ambassador Ali Chegini on\nTuesday to formally protest comments by Iranian authorities that Caracas\ndeemed \u2018disparaging and inappropriate\u2019. Venezuela\u2019s Foreign Ministry\nconfirmed the diplomatic d\u00e9marche in a statement, though it did not\nspecify the exact remarks that triggered the protest. However, a video\ncirculating online shows Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi\nrecently stating that Iran \u2018is not Venezuela\u2019 during discussions about\nnegotiations with the United States. The rift marks a potential turning\npoint for the two oil-rich nations, which have been staunch allies and\ntrading partners since Hugo Chavez came to power in 1999. Chavez\u2019s\nanti-imperialist stance and hostility towards the \u2018Yankee empire\u2019 drew\nVenezuela closer to Iran, forging a bond over their shared antagonism\ntowards Washington. Beyond ideological alignment, the two countries have\nsigned numerous high-profile agreements over the past three decades in\nenergy, mining, health, and education. During Venezuela\u2019s severe\neconomic crisis in 2020, Iran supplied 1.5 million barrels of petrol\nwhen Caracas could not refine its own crude oil. In 2025, Tehran sent\nmore than two million doses of polio and hepatitis vaccines as Venezuela\nstruggled to purchase medicines due to US sanctions. However, the new\nVenezuelan administration, formed after the US-backed military operation\nthat ousted President Nicolas Maduro in January, may now seek to curry\nfavour with Washington by adopting a different approach towards\nIran.<\/p>",
