⚠️🇻🇪🇺🇸 Bloomberg: Delcy's Venezuela is considering stripping Alex Saab of his citizenship to extradite him to the U.S.

The interim government of Rodríguez is also exploring measures to annul Saab's Venezuelan citizenship, as the Constitution prohibits the extradition of Venezuelan citizens. Cooperation with the U.S. would include pressuring Saab to reveal the location of assets belonging to the former leader.

Saab's case adds to the detention of other Maduro allies, such as magnate Raúl Gorrín and former official Alexander Vargas, generating concern among Chavismo figures who might attempt to go underground or negotiate with U.S. authorities.

🛢️🇵🇪🇻🇪 Peru buys Venezuelan oil for the first time since 2009

The operation was carried out through Trafigura and includes mixed cargoes of Merey 16 heavy crude and WTI (West Texas Intermediate), which will be delivered between April and May 2026.

The decision is set against a backdrop of global disruptions in the oil market, where refineries are seeking unconventional supplies. Traditionally, Peru purchased heavy oil from Ecuador for its three refineries, but the combination of the easing of US sanctions and political changes in Venezuela has opened new opportunities to diversify the supply.

Curacao is expected to function as a logistics platform, blending Venezuelan and US barrels before their shipment to Peru, reflecting the complexity of current energy operations.

🇻🇪🇮🇷 The Chavista regime planned in 2020 to purchase Iranian ballistic missiles for more than $400 million, according to internal documents.

A memorandum from the Venezuelan Ministry of Defense dated January 17, 2020, approved by then-Minister Vladimir Padrino López, reveals that the Maduro government allocated funds to acquire an Iranian ballistic missile system valued at more than $400 million. The document detailed how Venezuela planned to channel the money through state-owned companies and that the system would be operated from platforms on naval ships. The operation never materialized: the Trump administration communicated that it was "unacceptable" and Venezuela desisted under US pressure, although Maduro publicly declared seven months later that buying missiles from Iran "had not occurred to us," adding that it was "a good idea." Elliott Abrams, former special representative of Trump for Iran and Venezuela, confirmed that Washington was aware of the conversations but said he was unaware of the specific document.

Iran had previously supplied Venezuela with drone systems, and both countries maintain decades of cooperation through OPEC (Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries), ties that deepened under Hugo Chávez and continued with Maduro through dozens of cooperation agreements.

The Chavist National Assembly unanimously approved the new Organic Mining Law.

According to the stated provisions, the regulation establishes measures for the protection of mining workers, as well as guidelines for the formalization of their activities and safety conditions.

Previously, the President of the National Assembly, Jorge Rodríguez, declared that this new law will ensure that mineral exploitation translates into social welfare and economic sustainability for Venezuela, reinforcing national sovereignty over its strategic resources.

Furthermore, it was reported that the instrument seeks to establish a legal framework for the development of the sector, with the aim of organizing the exploitation of mineral resources.

At the conclusion of the debate, the document was handed over to the authorities present, awaiting the ruling of the highest court for its eventual entry into force following its publication in the Official Gazette.
