Iran has awarded Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez its highest state medal for supporting Tehran in its nuclear standoff, while the fiery leader urged the world to rise up and defeat the United States, state-run television in both countries reported.<\/p>\n

Chavez said on Sunday that US President George W Bush is so evil that he must talk to the devil, and he condemned Israel for what he called the \u201cterrorism\u201d and \u201cmadness\u201d of its attacks in Lebanon, Venezuelan state television reported.<\/p>\n

Iran awarded the medal to Chavez to show its gratitude for his \u201csupport for Iran\u2019s stance on the international scene, especially its opposition to a resolution by the International Atomic Energy Agency,\u201d the Iranian station said.<\/p>\n

In February, Venezuela opposed an IAEA decision to report Iran to the UN Security Council over its disputed nuclear programme.<\/p>\n

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad presented Chavez with the Islamic Republic Medal in a ceremony at Tehran University.<\/p>\n
