Iran's Interest in Venezuela

President Hugo Chavez has decided to move forward with his ambitions to build nuclear plants despite warnings from his neighbors about his relationship with Iran.

"It could be used for industry and for continued medical uses, which the country needs to support hospitals... and the third element is for energy for the oil industry," she said.

Venezuela has backed Iran in its dispute with the United States and Europe over Tehran's nuclear program. U.S. officials accuse Iran of secretly working to produce nuclear arms, but Tehran says the program is only for civilian energy uses.
