Russian foreign minister, Sergey Lavrov has said that US military actions in Iran and Venezuela are driven by a desire to control oil resources.
Speaking during an interview with state media, Lavrov said the US prioritises its own economic interests and is willing to use measures such as coups or targeting foreign leaders to secure access to natural resources.
According to him, the US has a doctrine of dominance in global energy markets and does not hide that oil is a key factor behind its interventions.
The Russian foreign minister also slammed what he described as the erosion of international law.
He argued that global decisions are increasingly shaped by power rather than rules.
” America’s actions in countries like Iran and Venezuela are driven only by oil interests,” Lavrov said.
