Lavrov ties Iran oil sanctions to ‘energy war’ on Russia, slams Trump agenda

Published on Feb 10, 2026 08:13 am IST

Sergey Lavrov has launched a blistering attack on Donald Trump’s “energy dominance” agenda, accusing Washington of waging a global “war against tankers,” sanctioning Lukoil and Rosneft and quietly extending Biden‑era emergency laws against Russia even while talking peace on Ukraine. Now, with fresh sanctions and shipping curbs hitting Iran in the middle of “very good” Oman talks, Moscow is openly framing a shared energy front against the US. Is the Kremlin signaling that any American move on Iran’s oil will be treated as a move on Russia too?
