Lavrov criticizes US foreign policy over oil and energy dominance

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has accused the United States of pursuing oil-driven policies in Iran and Venezuela, claiming that control over global energy resources is a central goal of Washington’s foreign strategy. Speaking in a televised interview, Lavrov said the US focuses primarily on its own interests and is willing to use extreme methods to secure access to oil and energy assets in resource-rich nations. Lavrov alleged that US actions in countries such as Iran and Venezuela are not hidden, but openly tied to securing influence over energy markets. According to him, Washington’s approach reflects a broader ambition to dominate global energy supply chains. He argued that such policies show a shift away from international legal norms, suggesting that decisions are increasingly shaped by power rather than agreed rules. The Russian minister also criticized the US for what he described as inconsistent diplomacy. He urged Washington to prioritize dialogue, stating that the US has a pattern of withdrawing from agreements instead of maintaining stable international commitments. His remarks come as American envoys prepare for discussions in Pakistan, signaling ongoing diplomatic engagement in the region. The White House has indicated openness to negotiations with Iran, while maintaining that it will not act under pressure. Meanwhile, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has begun a regional visit, adding to the ongoing diplomatic activity surrounding the issue. Lavrov further linked US foreign policy to developments in Europe, particularly in the context of the Ukraine conflict. He accused Washington of encouraging European nations to reduce dependence on Russian gas, framing this as part of a broader geopolitical strategy. According to Lavrov, such moves resemble attempts to reshape global energy dynamics in a way that benefits US interests, raising concerns about a return to power-based international relations.
