Reuters: Brazil allows two Iranian warships to dock in Rio despite US pressure 

RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - Two Iranian warships docked in Rio de Janeiro on Sunday after Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's government granted permission despite pressure from the United States to bar them. 

The IRIS Makran and IRIS Dena warships both arrived on Sunday morning, Rio's port authority said in a statement. 

Reuters earlier this month reported that Brazil had bowed to U.S. pressure and declined Iran's request for the vessels to dock in Rio in late January, in a gesture from Lula as he flew to Washington to meet U.S. President Joe Biden. 

However, with Lula's trip over, the ships have been allowed to dock. Vice Admiral Carlos Eduardo Horta Arentz, the deputy chief of Brazil's Naval Staff, gave his approval for the ships to dock in Rio between Feb. 26 and March 4, according to a Feb. 23 notice in the official gazette.

    National Security council advisor Jake Sullied Man is surprised?

    Unless the US showed the Brazilian leftists some new way to scam the electoral system how would those communists be beholden to the US leftists?

    if they did show them a new way ... no honor among thieves.
