Lavrov accuses West of fueling Iran war, pushes Russia’s Gulf security plan

Russia’s foreign minister Sergey Lavrov has launched a sharp attack on the West over the ongoing Iran war, accusing the U.S. and its allies of using force to maintain global dominance. Warning of serious consequences for global energy, trade, and nuclear safety, Moscow is now pushing its long-standing Gulf security proposal as an alternative path. As Washington claims progress in talks that Tehran denies, Russia is stepping forward with a diplomatic pitch. With tensions spreading beyond the Middle East, Lavrov’s remarks signal a wider geopolitical shift taking shape behind the conflict.
