    President Abelardo de la Espriella confirmed before the Union of Workers (USO) that Joaquín Gutiérrez is one of the strongest candidates to become the new president of Ecopetrol. The decision will be finalized by the company's board of directors at the shareholders' meeting scheduled for the third week of September. Gutiérrez, a business administrator with a specialization in Health Management, has a background mainly in private companies and health administration.

    US Launches 'Operation Economic Outcast' Against Iran

    The US Treasury Department has launched 'Operation Economic Outcast', an unprecedented campaign against the Islamic Republic of Iran. The operation aims to choke off revenue streams to the Iranian regime by pressuring secondary countries to stop doing oil, energy, and business deals with Tehran. The US expects countries and organizations that continue operations with Iran to leave the dollar system. The campaign seeks to cut off all financial connections and economic lifelines supporting the regime, isolating Tehran from the international financial system until it stands completely alone.
