Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has launched a blistering attack on the United States, accusing Donald Trump and Washington of pushing a global agenda driven by oil dominance and strategic greed.
Lavrov’s Accusations
Lavrov claims the US is willing to destabilize nations rich in resources, citing Iran and Venezuela as key examples, while sidelining diplomacy in favor of power politics. He warned that this approach risks dragging the world back to a 'might is right' era, where energy control dictates global order and alliances fracture under pressure.
Context of the Hormuz Showdown
The remarks come amid heightened tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, where Iran has seized a ship it claims is Zionist-linked. The US and Iran are locked in a standoff, with both sides sending envoys to Pakistan for talks. Lavrov’s comments align with Russia’s broader criticism of US foreign policy.
Global Implications
Lavrov’s attack underscores deepening rifts between Russia and the US, as Moscow positions itself as a counterweight to American hegemony. Analysts warn that such rhetoric could escalate into a broader proxy conflict in the Middle East.
