Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez voices support for his Iranian counterpart Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, saying the CIA is instigating post-election conflict in Iran.

Chavez said Wednesday that the "imperial hand" of the US Central Intelligence Agency and its European allies had provoked post-election unrest in Iran.

"People are in the streets, some are dead, they have snipers, and behind this is the CIA, the imperial hand of European countries and the United States," he said. "From my point of view that is what is happening in Iran."

Chavez, who was speaking on the sidelines of a meeting attended by Latin American leaders in Maracay, once again stated that Ahmadinejad was the sole winner of Iran's presidential elections.

"Ahmadinejad won the elections legally, we are absolutely sure we know quite a lot about Iranian politics," AFP quoted Chavez as saying.

Earlier on Sunday, Chavez had expressed concern that certain hands wanted to overthrow the Iranian revolution. "We call on the world to respect Iran because there are attempts to undermine the strength of the Iranian revolution."

Tehran has accused the US and certain European countries of fueling the unrest in Iran.
