“Valero Energy Corp. profit surged in the first quarter, fueled by the lifting of sanctions on Venezuelan oil and rising prices as the Iran war choked …”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim attributes Valero Energy Corp.'s profit surge to two specific causes: 1) lifting of sanctions on Venezuelan oil, and 2) rising prices related to the Iran war. While the web search results confirm Valero's profit surge and the general context of rising fuel prices due to Middle East disruptions (Iran/Israel attacks), the direct causal link that the profit surge was due *specifically* to the lifting of sanctions on Venezuelan oil is not corroborated by a second independent source. The evidence is strong on the profit surge and the Middle East context, but the Venezuelan sanction link is isolated to the claim's premise.
