Russia's Lavrov says regime change plans in Iran and Venezuela were about oil

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Tuesday that U.S. plans to unfurl regime change in Iran and ⁠Venezuela were aimed at gaining more control over oil and gas resources.

Lavrov said the United States and Israel did not ⁠want normalization between Iran and its neighbors, and cautioned that ⁠the war in the Middle East could spiral ⁠into a wider conflict.
