Published by WarSignal Editorial · Last updated

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said the United States’ approach to Iran is driven by oil interests, not by Iran’s actions. He made the remarks in Moscow, stating that Iran was not the source of the problem, including with Gulf states.

Lavrov’s comments came amid ongoing tensions between the US and Iran over regional influence and energy markets. He emphasized that the US strategy is shaped by economic considerations rather than Iran’s behavior.

The statement reflects Russia’s broader stance on Middle Eastern geopolitics, positioning itself as a counterweight to US influence in the region.
