Iran hits out at US for 'begging world' to buy Russian oil

Tehran on Saturday accused Washington of hypocrisy over Russian crude, saying the United States is now urging countries to buy the same oil it once tried to block. Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi criticized the United States in a social media post, claiming Washington had spent months pressuring India to stop importing Russian oil but is now encouraging countries to purchase it as the conflict with Iran strains global energy markets.Araghchi also accused European governments of backing what he called an “illegal war” against Iran in hopes of securing American support against Russia.

The Iranian foreign minister’s remarks come as the Trump administration on Thursday announced a 30-day waiver allowing countries to purchase sanctioned Russian oil cargoes currently stranded at sea, a move aimed at stabilising global energy markets after crude prices surged past $100 per barrel amid the war in the Middle East. The waiver was introduced after benchmark crude prices surged above $100 per barrel amid supply disruptions caused by the war and Iran’s closure of the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most critical oil shipping routes.
Meanwhile, despite the conflict, Iran has allowed two India-flagged liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) carriers to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, Reuters reported, citing sources with direct knowledge of the matter. Iran’s ambassador to India, Mohammad Fathali, said Tehran would ensure safe passage for vessels bound for India through the strategic waterway.The move came hours after phone conversations between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian – their first since the start of the Iran-US conflict – and external affairs minister S Jaishankar and his Iranian counterpart Seyed Abbas Araghch
