Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said that the US approach to Iran is determined by oil interests rather than diplomatic principles. According to Lavrov, Iran is not the initiator of problems in relations with Persian Gulf countries. The Russian diplomat's remarks came in the context of discussions on international policy amid tensions in the region.
Lavrov accused the United States of basing its policy toward Iran on oil interests rather than diplomacy, and blamed Washington rather than Tehran for regional tensions. Russia traditionally supports a diplomatic approach to Iran's nuclear program and opposes American sanctions.
An escalation in Russia's rhetoric on the Iran-US conflict could affect negotiations over sanctions and energy contracts that influence global oil and commodity prices. Moscow's position indicates its readiness to deepen its alliance with Iran, which shifts the balance of power in the Middle East and could complicate international trade and investment plans.
