League of Villains update: Senior Iranian and Cuban meet

The Sudanese president visited Tehran last week, which inspired this post where I discussed Iran's apparent building of a League of Villains, such as the type of organization that attempted to defeat television character Jimmy Neutron.

Cuba's ambassador to Iran, Fernando Garcia, met with the speaker of the Iranian parliament, Gholam-Ali Haddad-Adel, on Tuesday.

From the Tehran Times:

(Haddad-Adel) said he was glad to witness progress in Iran-Cuba cooperation through holding talks and execution of agreements signed by the two sides. The speaker referred to the people's revolutions of both states and their common enemy, namely the U.S., as a factor giving momentum to their favorable ties and said, "The U.S. opposition to the Iranian and Cuban revolutions emanated from the fact that both were supported by people."

Note the use of past tense in that last sentence.

For his part, Garcia said, "Cuba takes pride in cooperating with a friendly country such as Iran. The same was declared by President Castro in his recent speech."

What is North Korea's part in all of this?
