Three Iranian Oil Tankers Are Set to Deliver About 820,000 Barrels of Gasoline and Other Fuels, Helping to Alleviate Shortages in Venezuela

An Iranian-flagged oil tanker Forest carrying 270,000 barrels of gasoline from Iran to Venezuela breaches the American barrier in the Caribbean Sea and arrives in the waters of the South American country at the state port El Palito, west of the capital, Caracas.

Although both countries are under harsh U.S. sanctions, Washington has not acted to intercept the tankers, which had already delivered gasoline to Venezuela from May to June.

Two other tankers, the Faxon and the Fortune, are making the same journey from Iran to Venezuela across the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea and are expected to arrive at the El Palito port in early October.

Oil Crisis in Venezuela

Venezuela is in the midst of a terrible oil shortage, driven by a combination of harsh U.S. sanctions and a long-term decline in the maintenance of its refineries.

Earlier this year, President Nicolas Maduro’s government reached an agreement with Iran for the delivery of five tankers (about 1.5 million barrels) of gasoline.

The Forest, Faxon, and Fortune were part of that shipment, along with the Iranian tankers Petunia and Clavel. The United States added the commanders of all five vessels to its travel and banking blacklist for their involvement.

Oil Crisis in Venezuela

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

While the U.S. still faces limitations in deep space, China is developing unprecedented technology with strategic satellites that maintain communication with the far side of the Moon and aims for dominance by 2030.

In Botswana, a salt flat of up to 16,000 km² that was once an African megalake spends months as an absolute white desert, but during the rainy season it transforms into a shallow sea that reappears from nowhere and can be seen from space in the middle of southern Africa.

The Blood Falls of Antarctica hide a living ecosystem trapped under the ice for over 2 million years, where microbes survive without light, without oxygen, and without ever having seen the Sun.

Bavarian archaeologists unearthed a medieval skeleton that had an articulated iron hand in place of its left arm, and the discovery reveals that doctors were already creating sophisticated prosthetics over 500 years ago.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

At over 8 meters tall and resembling a trunk, this creature dominated the Earth 400 million years before the dinosaurs — and science still doesn’t know what it was.

China inaugurates a 24 km monster that is a bridge, tunnel, and museum at the same time — and 90,000 cars pass through it every day.

Oil at the center of global disputes and historical transformations

Brazil already has the largest electric buses in daily operation in the world: Goiânia has put 28-meter giants from Volvo on the streets to transform urban transport, placing the country at the center of a new showcase for urban mobility.

NASA announces the first interplanetary nuclear spacecraft in history destined for Mars and technology created to usher in a new era in deep space exploration: meet the SR-1 Freedom, equipped with a fission reactor and three helicopters inspired by Ingenuity to map Martian ice.

More than R$ 526 million generated in oil in 2025 was not enough to place Espírito Santo in the lead of innovation — and the data shows exactly where the bottleneck is.

With salaries of up to R$ 30,000 and 2,500 open positions, a shipyard in Aracruz (ES) is at the center of a billion-dollar project by Petrobras that involves platforms capable of producing 225,000 barrels per day.

Impacts of tensions in the Middle East: how the rise in oil prices is transforming infrastructure contracts in Brazil, raising prices, delaying schedules, and exposing billion-dollar fragility in the sector.
