Chevron is expanding its operations in Venezuela, coinciding with reports of a deal involving President Donald Trump for a U.S.-controlled joint venture aimed at developing more of the country's proven oil reserves, according to The Independent.

In related developments, U.S. officials are investigating an airstrike that Iran claims struck a wedding party, resulting in four deaths and injuries to nearly 70 people. This information was reported by JD Vance, who highlighted the U.S. stance on not engaging with Iran unless they cease attacks on ships.

Tensions remain high as fighting between the U.S. and Iran has led to the most significant exchange of fire since July, further exacerbating the geopolitical situation in the region.
