Nicaragua would support Iranian terrorist attacks against the US?

Payvand
Roger Noriega Guevara Mena recently published a press release from his campaign entitled 

Nicaragua and the Anti-American Axis in the Wall Street Journal. Among his wild claims, you'll find the following.
Ahmadinejad has made a habit of stopping off in Nicaragua during his periodic visits to Mr. Chávez. Exactly what ventures he has planned in the country are unknown. But don't count out trouble in this hemisphere if Iran acquires nuclear weapons or seeks to unleash terrorists on American soil. Messrs. Chávez and Ortega would be all too willing to help their Iranian friends.
I'm not sure what he means by "habit" (how many times has Ahmadinejad been to the Americas?), but that's not such a big deal. 

Wouldn't you have expected the editors to press just a bit harder on the author's claim that Ortega and Chavez would support the Iranian use of nuclear weapons and the unleashing of terrorists against Americans on American soil? 
Honestly, the WSJ has to have higher standards to publish something like this even if it is from a Nicaraguan presidential candidate with about 1% support July and August polls.
