Iran's President Ebrahim Raisi's diplomatic tour of South America is seen as an attempt to forge strategic alliances and challenge US sanctions. Raisi's tour includes stops in Venezuela, Cuba, and Nicaragua, where he has made pointed references to their "common enemy," the United States. Iran is seeking alliances in opposition to US sanctions and aims to promote a vision of a multipolar world where US influence is eroded in favor of rising authoritarian powers such as Russia and China. The tour is also seen as an attempt to demonstrate to Iran's domestic audience that it has friends and allies internationally despite Western efforts to isolate it.
