%X in this paper, we examine the presence of iran in latin america through its connections with three countries that are members of the "alternativa bolivariana para am¨¦rica latina y el caribe" (alba) -venezuela, nicaragua, bolivia- and one that is an observer of this association -ecuador-. we argue that these relations cover not only the economic level, but incorporate also the political, cultural and military levels. this is a strategic relationship in which both sides seek political advantages. on one hand, iran seeks to overcome its international isolation and present itself as a platform of opposition to the united states; on the other hand, framing the latter in the context of south- south relations.
