Amidst the American attacks, Iran’s Foreign Minister Seyyed Abbas Araghchi has cornered Washington regarding Russian oil. He said that the Trump administration is begging countries around the world including India to buy Russian oil. He further said that earlier America had put pressure on Russia to stop oil imports.
Iranian Foreign Minister targeted America by sharing a report of Financial Times on social media platform X. It has been said in this report that the Iran war has come as a lifeline for Russia’s oil industry.

Araghchi said that America spent several months threatening India to stop importing oil from Russia.

This comment of the Iranian Foreign Minister has come at a time when just a day before America informed about temporarily lifting the ban on buying Russian oil. US Finance Minister Scott Besant said that the Finance Department has decided to give 30 days approval to buy Russian oil. He had said that this approval would be only for that Russian oil, which is already present in the sea. America has recently given similar relaxation to India also.

The US Treasury Secretary said that its purpose is to increase the reach of existing oil supply and the US President is taking decisive steps to promote stability in the global energy market. He further said that Russia will not get much benefit from this, because the Russian oil which has been approved is already present in the sea.
According to the report shared by the Financial Times, Russia is earning an additional amount of 150 million dollars i.e. approximately Rs 1389 crore every day due to the oil crisis due to the Iran war. This is because Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz.
