  • U.S. State Department has routinely designated Irans regime the planets worst state-sponsor of terrorism. The IRGC, which oversees the Basij militia, has played a key role in smashing protests against the clerical regime sparked by the death of Mahsa Amini.
  • US officials said cash had to be flown in because existing US sanctions ban American dollars from being used in a transaction with Iran. Iran could not access the global financial system due to international sanctions it was under at the time.
  • The protests mark one of the biggest challenges to the theocracy since the 1979 revolution. Security forces have used live ammunition, birdshot, tear gas, and batons to disperse protesters. Women have been at the vanguard of the protests, with many publicly stripping off the compulsory Islamic headscarf.

Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., the top Republican on the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, introduced two bills to curb President Biden's authority over the nation's oil stockpiles. The Secure Auction for Energy Reserves Act would prohibit the federal government from selling SPR stocks to China and other countries of particular concern. The second bill would require the Department of Energy to only tap the SPR when there is a severe energy supply interruption and not until the Interior Department issues a plan to increase oil and gas production on federal lands and waters.
