Daily: Venezuela oil pact, Hormuz closure, Niamey assault, Nepal toll
By Piri ·
Interim President Delcy Rodríguez confirmed a US-Venezuela oil pact granting Washington majority control of 65 billion barrels of reserves, though Venezuelan jurists call it null. Iran declared the Strait of Hormuz fully closed, deepening a war that has cut a fifth of global oil supply. Niger's presidential guard repelled a mutiny attempt, and Nepal's mudslide death toll passed 675 with nearly 2,500 missing.
