This week in review, the Trump administration enacted a significant 60-day waiver on Iranian oil sanctions to bolster peace negotiations in Switzerland, potentially unlocking nine billion dollars in revenue for Tehran. The U.S. Supreme Court issued a major ruling allowing the government to end Temporary Protected Status for 350,000 Haitian and Syrian migrants, while also reviving a metering policy for asylum seekers. In South America, a dual earthquake disaster in northern Venezuela killed at least 164 people, prompting a massive international search and rescue operation involving Swiss and Turkish teams. Geopolitically, Ukraine intensified strikes on Russian fuel infrastructure while facing new ballistic missile attacks on Kyiv. Meanwhile, the tech sector saw OpenAI restrict the release of its GPT-5.6 Sol model under White House pressure, and the gaming world reacted to Rockstar Games' decision to ship Grand Theft Auto 6 as a download-only title. Other notable events included the resignation of UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and the claim of victory by Colombia’s right-wing candidate Abelardo de la Espriella.
