BREAKING: Venezuela's Cardon Oil refinery, the country's second largest at 310,000 barrels per day, has just unexpectedly exploded and caught fire, forcing a full shutdown.
The fire started at a gas line connecting the refinery's diesel hydrotreater and halted the whole plant, including the boilers, eight sources told Reuters.
BREAKING: An impeachment resolution has been filed against Iran's Foreign Minister Araghchi over his meeting with Witkoff and Kushner in New York, which was carried out without any authorization of the Supreme National Security Council or Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei.
One of the seven grounds in the resolution is that Araghchi's interviews and statements have brought down the global oil price over the past months, giving "the enemy, especially the terrorist American government, room to breathe."
Another accuses him of errors of calculation that contributed to the 12-day war, the current war, and ultimately to the death of the Supreme Leader.
Iran's SNSC chief Rezaei says Iran's conditions had already been passed to the US repeatedly, meaning there was nothing left to discuss that would justify meeting the Americans directly.

CDC is aware of and closely monitoring reports of a suspected case of pneumonic plague in the Irkutsk region of Russia that resulted in a death. We are working across the U.S. government to assess developments as additional information becomes available.
While the circumstances of this reported case remain unconfirmed, plague is a serious bacterial disease that is treatable with antibiotics, particularly when recognized and treated early.
Pneumonic plague can spread person-to-person through respiratory droplets during close contact, which is why rapid identification and treatment of infected individuals, and monitoring of potentially exposed individuals, are important public health measures.
At this time, there is no indication of a broader threat to the United States, but CDC and our interagency partners are prepared and will continue to monitor the situation closely.
