Shopping in Venezuela: Breaking U.S. sanctions

 

 

Red Lines host Anya Parampil visits Megasis, an Iranian supermarket, which recently opened in Caracas, Venezuela, and explores cooperation between Tehran and Caracas against the US economic blockade. 

Parampil provides an exclusive look inside a superstore which the US government and corporate media have condemned and attempted to link to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. 

She also speaks with Venezuelan Foreign Minister Jorge Arreaza about how increased cooperation between Tehran and Caracas is improving the material condition of average citizens in his country.
