Iran would be negotiating political asylum with Venezuela in the face of a possible loss of power, according to media

MADRID, 8 Dic. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Iranian authorities have started negotiations with Venezuela to organize future political asylum plans given the concern generated by the constant protests in the country after the death in police custody of the young Kurdish woman Mahsa Amini, 22, according to the Iran International media.

Diplomatic sources have indicated to the aforementioned outlet that Iran has begun these dialogues with "its Venezuelan allies" with the aim of guaranteeing asylum to officials --and families-- of the regime in case the situation worsens.

In this sense, a delegation of four high officials of the regime would have visited Caracas in mid-October to make sure that the government of Nicolás Maduro would grant asylum, allowing them to enter the country in case "the unfortunate incident" occurs.

Likewise, sources from Iran International indicate that for weeks people and "a considerable amount of cargo" have been leaving for the Latin American country.

As reported by the Iranian chain, the British newspaper 'Daily Express' published at the end of October that officials from the Persian country would be seeking passports in the United Kingdom for families fleeing Tehran.

Meanwhile, regular money transfers abroad by top officials are taking place, while there are official reports that luxury properties are being sold below market value, according to Iran International.
