Amid rising geopolitical tensions, Abbas Araghchi, the Foreign Minister of Iran, accused the United States of hypocrisy over Russian oil. He claimed Washington had previously pressured countries like India to stop buying crude from Russia but is now “begging” nations to purchase it due to global energy disruptions caused by the ongoing regional conflict. Araghchi said the shift reflects changing realities in global oil markets and criticised Western policies toward Iran. The remarks come as tensions escalate in the Strait of Hormuz and energy supply concerns grow worldwide. (PC: India Today)
