Quick Summary

Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf warned the US on September 6, 2020, that any further attacks on Iranian interests will receive a more severe response. In a speech published on his Telegram channel, he stated that Iran's rules of engagement in war against the US have changed and will now result in faster, heavier, and more painful responses. At least five people were killed earlier in the week during a US bombardment of southern Iran. This comes after a month of relative calm between the two nations was interrupted by renewed attacks on September 5.

Story summary

The Trump administration announced an arrangement with Venezuela last week that would see the US gain control over 65 billion barrels worth of oil fields, representing about one-fifth of Venezuela’s total reserves. This deal includes a 35 percent stake for the Pentagon in North American Blue Energy Partners (NABEP), a firm led by Venezuelan businessman Alejandro Betancourt, who was previously under U.S. money-laundering investigation. The State Department also gets preferential rights to buy 20% of NABEP’s oil at cost and first refusal for the remaining 80 percent.

Venezuela’s acting president Delcy Rodriguez claims this agreement will bring much-needed foreign investment to her country's struggling oil industry, but many in Venezuela view her as illegitimate after the U.S. military captured former President Nicolás Maduro earlier this year. Opposition leader María Corina Machado has criticized the deal, arguing that Venezuela’s natural resources belong to its people rather than "an illegitimate regime."

The arrangement raises concerns among Venezuelan opposition figures who fear it could bolster the authoritarian government's control and undermine democratic progress in the country.
