Iran's strategic penetration of Latin America
Ilan Berman (Editor), Joseph M. Humire (Editor), Marta Lucia Ramirez
Since 1979, the Islamic Republic has been quietly encroaching on America’s southern flank, spreading its influence throughout Latin America. This volume examines this influence as a way of revealing how Iran views Latin America as a latent theater of operation and is building its capacity and capability throughout the region.
