The trip by the Iranian leader will be watched closely to see what kind of deals he may sign and what other issues may arise or if there are any surprise visits that take place. Iran also recently sent its navy around the world and that included stops in South America.
The trip to South America also comes as Iran is beginning a full-court press to lay claim to several islands in the Persian Gulf and has addressed new capabilities of its navy.
