The Pentagon has stepped beyond procurement into sovereign equity, holding penny warrants that lock in a 35 percent position in NABEP while the venture raises capital. The deal also gives the Defense Department a right of first offer on 20 percent of output at production cost — a discounted strategic fuel guarantee for a post-Maduro Venezuela.
Washington used penny warrants — call options with token strike prices — to protect its 35 percent stake in NABEP from dilution as the project raises development capital. The structure also grants dividends before exercise and off-take rights on 20 percent of output at cost, making it a case study in sovereign deal structuring.
The U.S. is backing the revival of 65 billion barrels of Venezuelan crude through NABEP's 100-year, no-bid concession to 17 oilfields. The Pentagon-backed deal sharpens the tension between energy security and climate goals while reviving a collapsed producer.

U.S. strikes on three Iranian tankers near Kharg Island — the terminal for most of Iran's crude exports — sharpen disruption risk for oil logistics. With fighting around the Strait of Hormuz intensifying, shippers face rising war-risk exposure, potential rerouting, and tighter tanker capacity.
For defense planners, the strikes on three tankers near Kharg Island follow a U.S. aircraft carrier and destroyer evading "multiple unprovoked Iranian attacks" in the Strait of Hormuz. The episode highlights naval force protection, precision maritime strike, and the escalating anti-ship threat environment in a critical chokepoint.
The U.S. military's September 5 confirmation that it struck three Iranian oil tankers raises immediate questions under the law of armed conflict, maritime law, and sanctions enforcement. Practitioners will scrutinize the targeting of civilian-flagged vessels linked to the IRGC's shadow network, Iran's claim of "unprovoked attacks" on U.S. warships, and Ambassador Huckabee's designation of settler violence as "terror."
