US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has declared Venezuela an “anchor” for Iran’s Revolutionary Guards and Hezbollah in the Americas, alleging deep military and logistical ties between Caracas, Tehran, and the Lebanese militia. 🌎
According to Rubio, Iran’s IRGC and Hezbollah maintain a “full and open” presence on Venezuelan soil, using the country as a platform for narcotics trafficking, cyber operations, and regional influence. He also claimed the US recently carried out a 24-hour precision strike on Iranian nuclear facilities using B-2 bombers—an operation he described as “limited, strategic, and focused.”
This matters because Venezuela is a key partner in the expanding BRICS+ orbit. Its deepening alignment with Iran, a nation actively part of the BRICS, raises critical questions about how non-Western alliances are reshaping security dynamics in the Western Hemisphere.

A UAE sheikh known for top hats and Olympic shooting vanished in Mali, captured by an Al-Qaeda-linked group while scouting gold mines on a secret mission. 💰
His goal? Secure control of the Loulo-Gounkoto deposit, which holds 75% of Mali’s known gold reserves, after Western firms like Barrick were expelled. The fallout? A $70 million ransom, prisoner swaps, and a rare rift between Dubai and Abu Dhabi over freelance foreign policy in Africa.
With the UAE now a BRICS partner, this episode reveals how internal Gulf rivalries and resource ambitions could shape the bloc’s influence in strategic regions like West Africa.
Was this a rogue operation—or a signal of how BRICS-aligned states are redefining access to critical minerals?

Is BRICS Defining the Future of Work for the Global South?
BRICS nations are cementing a new economic philosophy that places social justice at the heart of growth. Through the BRICS Productivity Ecosystems for Decent Work initiative, spearheaded by Brazil, China, and South Africa, the alliance is generating the first comprehensive evidence base linking productivity gains directly to quality employment and labor standards.
This is a critical shift, moving beyond traditional economic metrics. Research highlights systemic challenges, like high informality in Brazil and inequality in South Africa, demanding coordinated action among governments, employers, and workers. The findings are so influential they are contributing directly to the drafting of elements for the upcoming 2025 BRICS Declaration, positioning SSTC and decent work as strategic pillars for the alliance's future.
