Axis of Unity

Axis of Unity refers to the strategic, political, economic and ideological alliance between Iran and Venezuela. It was formed primarily to oppose "American imperialism" and United States hegemony. The alliance was forged by Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez and Iranian President Mohammad Khatami, during the early 2000s. Despite the contrasting political system, Venezuela's Bolivarian socialist government and Iran's Shia theocratic Islamic Republic, the alliance continues under their successors holding the same anti-imperialist views.
