US investment groups are racing to acquire underused Venezuelan oilfields after a shift in US-Venezuela policy. Miami-based Lionheart Capital has signed a letter of intent to merge shell company Lionheart Holdings with Keo Energy, which holds Venezuelan oil assets; the deal would create the first Venezuela-focused oil firm listed on Nasdaq and offer US and institutional investors direct exposure. Lionheart aims for a post-deal listing valuation of roughly $1bn; Lionheart Holdings raised $230m in 2024. Sources say talks are at an early stage and may fail. Lionheart Holdings will hold a shareholder vote next week to seek more time to find a target, otherwise it may face liquidation.

Doha College professor Mohammed Elmasri said uncertainty over a US‑Iran agreement reflects President Trump’s improvisational foreign policy, saying “he makes it up as he goes” and calling the Iran war a major misjudgment. He said several market‑relevant issues remain unresolved as the world watches whether a deal can be signed: the US position on Iran controlling the Strait of Hormuz and potential fee collection; how Iran’s future uranium‑enrichment capacity and existing high‑enriched uranium stock would be handled; and deep disagreements between the parties.
