🇧🇴❌🇮🇷 — The government of Bolivia canceled a military cooperation agreement signed in 2023 with Iran, as announced by Defense Minister Marcelo Salinas

💬 “Approximately four months ago, this military cooperation agreement was terminated, therefore the contract no longer exists,” he said in response to journalists’ questions about whether the agreement, signed during the government of Luis Arce (2020–2025), was still in force.

The minister added that the agreements with Iran “were simply rescinded and no longer exist.”

💥 Since taking office on November 8, President Rodrigo Paz has questioned Bolivia’s relations with Iran, as well as with Venezuela and Cuba, countries that were allied with the governments of Arce and Evo Morales (2006–2019).

🤝 In contrast, Paz’s government has secured agreements to restore diplomatic relations with the United States and Israel, nations that had distanced themselves from the former left-wing presidents.

🇧🇷🇧🇷💥🌿 — Brazilian violence and crime: The Military Police seized more than 48 tons of marijuana during an operation in the Complexo da Maré, in the northern zone of Rio de Janeiro. Considered the LARGEST DRUG SEIZURE IN THE HISTORY of Brazil, the load required the use of four trucks for transport

👮 The shipment was valued at more than R$50 million. The drugs were located by sniffer dogs in an abandoned building in Nova Holanda, the most populous of the 17 favelas in the cluster of communities.

⁉️ In addition to the record volume, the operation stood out for the location where the marijuana was found. Seizures of dozens of tons usually occur in the states of Paraná and especially Mato Grosso do Sul, due to the border with Paraguay, the region’s largest cannabis producer.

📊 Ranking of the largest single marijuana seizures in Brazil:

➡️ 48 tons – April 2026, Complexo da Maré (Nova Holanda), Rio de Janeiro (RJ).
➡️36.5 tons – July 2021, Deodápolis (MS). The load was hidden in a soybean trailer and held the record for more than four years.
➡️33.3 tons – August 2020, Maracaju (MS). Operation Hórus seized the drugs in a bi-trailer truck.
➡️27.2 tons – May 2025, Caarapó (MS). Hidden in a corn shipment, it was one of the largest seizures in the corporation’s history.
