Venezuelan oil is extra-heavy (very low API gravity, around 8-10° or less), thick like tar/resin, with a high percentage of sulfur, metals and asphaltenes.
It does not flow easily, is difficult to transport by pipeline or ship without heating, and requires expensive refineries for processing. Without dilution, production and exports are limited.
Iran produces light oil (Iranian Light ~34-36° API) and gas condensate (very light and volatile).
This acts as a diluent: it reduces viscosity, increases API gravity and makes the mixture easier to transport and refine.
Typical ratio: 3:1 (3 barrels Venezuelan heavy + 1 barrel Iranian light/condensate) → produces Merey 16 or a similar blend (around 16° API), which is popular with Asian refineries (especially China).
This is what China used to do by importing both of them. Mixing.
This is what the US is now trying to do, huge profits.

Trump's most controversial COVID remark was "putting a disinfecting light in the body." In the 1940s, that therapy cured many incurable disease and spread across America until it was buried. Russia took it up and recently proved it treats COVID-19.
