This comes as tens of thousands of attendees remained stranded Sunday. The Pershing County Sheriff's Office confirmed it is investigating the death in a news release issued Saturday, and said the family has been notified both of the death and the active probe. A spokesperson for the sheriff's office told CBS News on Sunday that the death occurred during the extreme rain that swept through parts of northwestern Nevada on Friday and Saturday, but not because of it. The earlier news release noted that the office "is currently investigating a death which occurred during this rain event." Echoing the release, the spokesperson declined to share additional information about the death or circumstances surrounding it because the sheriff's investigation was still ongoing.

The White House said Sunday that President Biden had been briefed on the flooding and "administration officials are monitoring the situation and are in touch with state and local officials."      Officials urged Burning Man attendees to shelter in place on Saturday and Sunday after storms soaked the Black Rock Desert, a dried lake bed now composed of alkali flats that sits in a remote and arid section of northwestern Nevada, about 150 miles from Reno. The Burning Man entrance was shut down Saturday and would remain closed for the remainder of the event, Washoe County Sheriff's Office tweeted. Anyone attempting to travel to the area would be turned around. The Pershing County Sheriff's Office noted Saturday that festival operations were being "halted or significantly delayed...due to unusual weather conditions on the playa."                 Roads in and out of the festival remained closed Sunday evening, and festival organizers urged attendees to conserve food, water and fuel. Cell phone equipment was also brought in to help those stuck in flooded campsites.

About 73,000 people were stranded at Burning Man when the head count was tallied Saturday, the Pershing County Sheriff's Office spokesperson told CBS News. Some attendees were reportedly seen trudging through the muddy desert in efforts to leave the festival on foot, according to the Associated Press.The organizers of Burning Man said in a statement Saturday night that people who decide to walk out of the desert would be provided bus transportation to Reno from Gerlach, which is about 15 miles from the site of Black Rock City. "Burning Man is a community of people who are prepared to support one another. We have come here knowing this is a place where we bring everything we need to survive. It is because of this that we are all well-prepared for a weather event like this," the statement read.                      "We have done table-top drills for events like this. We are engaged full-time on all aspects of safety and looking ahead to our Exodus as our next priority," the statement continued. Exodus is how Burning Man refers to the end of the festival, when all attendees leave the desert."The Burning Man organization's advice is for participants to delay their departures to avoid getting stuck in the mud, but people are free to leave should they choose to do so," organizers said. On the Burning Man website, organizers said they were hoping to reopen roads by 9 a.m. local time Monday. "It was really, really wet and really, really slick," stranded attendee Justin Schuman told CBS News of the muddy conditions in a video interview Sunday from his campsite. "But it's also very alkaline. So you do have to be careful for no prolonged exposure of your skin to the mud because, apparently it can actually start to really, gently burn your skin."Schuman said he and his friends had enough supplies to make it through a few more days. "We are not allowed out of the playa, the gates are locked, we have enough tuna for a week," said Christine Lee, a circus performer, on social media.The area serves as the annual locale for Burning Man, a weeklong event that typically draws tens of thousands of people "to create Black Rock City, a temporary metropolis dedicated to community, art, self-expression, and self-reliance," according to a passage in the "about" section on the festival's website. Event organizers require attendees "to bring all you need to survive" to the desert, including food, water and shelter, which can be shared.                      The Reno Gazette Journal reported Saturday that organizers started rationing ice sales and that all vehicle traffic at the sprawling festival grounds had been stopped, leaving portable toilets unable to be serviced.

The Pershing County Sheriff's Office was coordinating with several agencies, including the Bureau of Land Management and Burning Man Org, to assist attendees sheltering in place at the event site. The sheriff's office spokesperson told CBS News on Sunday that "they are all working together to try to get everybody out of there safely," at least in part using vehicles with four-wheel drive. It was unclear whether other transportation methods were being used too."There had been mild to heavy rain for several hours, causing conditions that made it virtually impossible for motorized vehicles to traverse the playa," the sheriff's office said in Saturday's news release, adding that it supports Burning Man's decision to order attendees to shelter in place and noting, "There is more rain forecast for the next few days which could cause further delays and disruptions for participants attempting to leave the Festival as well as other operations within the Festival." In addition to small groups of people who were able to walk off the event site and were "awaiting transport" arranged by Burning Man at the time the release was issued, the office said "some vehicles have been able to drive off the playa, however, those vehicles have caused damage to the playa surface, and it is not recommended at this time."

  今日清晨,亚太盘初,国际油价集体跳水,WTI原油期货、布伦特原油期货价格均跌超1%。消息面上,伊朗总统佩泽希齐扬在最新的讲话中表示,伊朗应以理性方式,使国家摆脱“既非战争、也非和平”状态。

C |   与此同时,针对美国总统特朗普此前宣布的“史无前例的经济战”,伊朗方面亮出了“石油出口反制牌”。当地时间23日,伊朗最高国家安全委员会秘书雷扎伊表示,如果美国对伊朗继续发动经济战,则没有石油会通过霍尔木兹海峡乃至波斯湾地区出口。  国际油价下挫  北京时间8月24日清晨,国际油价下挫,截至7:15,WTI原油期货价格跌1.04%,报86.16美元/桶;布伦特原油期货价格跌1.06%,报91.68美元/桶。

D |   据新华社援引伊朗伊斯兰共和国通讯社23日报道,伊朗总统佩泽希齐扬22日晚表示,伊朗应以理性方式,使国家摆脱“既非战争、也非和平”状态。  据报道,佩泽希齐扬在首都德黑兰出席“医生日”纪念活动时说,伊朗“不可能永远依靠战争走下去。总有一天必须作出决定,使国家摆脱‘既非战争、也非和平’的状态”,在战争或“非战非和”状态下伊朗难以吸引投资。他还提及已故最高领袖哈梅内伊也曾明确表示伊朗必须摆脱“非战非和”状态。  佩泽希齐扬还说,此前伊朗与美国达成的谅解备忘录是在“尊严、智慧和国家利益”基础上能够达成的最佳方案。这份谅解备忘录中“找不到任何一项条款表明伊朗作出退让”,相关承诺均由对方承担。伊朗可以在不退让的同时,通过落实谅解备忘录,既维护国家尊严又以理性方式解决问题。  他还表示,伊朗最高领袖穆杰塔巴制定国家政策,政府将按照相关政策继续推进有关工作。  另据伊朗塔斯尼姆通讯社23日报道,伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队发言人穆赫比当天表示,伊朗针对美国各种敌对行动均已制定应对方案,包括应对经济施压。  穆赫比在伊朗北部城市卡拉季举行的新闻发布会上说,美国日前宣布对伊朗发动“最严厉的经济战”,这一表态实际上表明美方在军事领域未能实现目标。

E | 他说,美国对伊朗实施经济制裁已有47年,当前有关“经济战”的表态意在对伊朗民众施加心理影响。  穆赫比表示,伊方已制定方案以应对“经济战”造成的不利影响,并将继续“在美国眼皮底下”同其他国家开展经济往来、绕过美国限制。他称,伊朗在经济领域“没有担忧”,有关措施的效果将在不久后显现。  由于与伊朗的谈判停滞,美国总统特朗普19日宣布对伊朗实施“毁灭性经济行动”。美国财政部长贝森特20日警告称,美国将对伊朗实施“史无前例的经济孤立”措施。伊朗外交部20日对此强烈谴责,称伊朗将利用“一切工具和能力”维护国家利益和伊朗人民的合法权利。  伊朗亮出“石油出口反制牌”  据央视新闻,对美国将发起经济战的声明,伊朗官方近期也进行了密集且强硬的表态。当地时间23日,伊朗最高国家安全委员会秘书雷扎伊表示,如果美国对伊朗继续发动经济战,则没有石油会通过霍尔木兹海峡乃至波斯湾地区出口。

F | 伊朗将把任何国家参与或支持美国对伊朗人民发动的经济战视为战争行为。  伊朗外长阿拉格齐在23日的表态中直言,伊朗从未害怕过美国制裁,他们所有的举动,无论是封锁还是军事行动,都失败了,这次的新伎俩也必将失败。  阿拉格齐还将特朗普的这次经济行动称作为“一部已经看过无数遍的重复电影”,而“我们知道如何应对”。  据央视新闻报道,伊朗舆论普遍认为,美国此时宣布对伊朗采取经济施压行动,以及贝森特所谓的“不需要再对伊朗实施大规模军事行动”的表态,均展现出美国因未能通过战争选项达成目标被迫“改弦更张”,试图在不同条件下继续推进其目标。  不过也有分析人士指出,虽然美国的制裁对伊朗而言并不陌生,但在战争阴影并未完全消除的情况下,如何在维持经济稳定和保持战略威慑中做出平衡,是伊朗需要考量的重要议题。  中国国际问题研究院助理研究员李子昕表示,美国对伊朗的经济战显然将进一步提升伊朗的通胀与食品供应压力。

G | 但鉴于伊朗拥有长期应对美国制裁的经验,且具备相对丰富的应对手段,美方经济施压未必能够迫使伊朗在政治层面作出退让,反而很有可能使得局面滑向多方受损的“多输”困局。
