The information was shared by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in an interview with France Televisions.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that the Nord Stream pipeline was sabotaged by Ukrainian elements with clear support from Western intelligence.
No one condemns the Nord Stream pipeline explosion carried out by Ukrainian sabotage elements with the clear backing of Western intelligence. Both France and Germany do not object, especially Germany. I think this is shameful for a country to accept sabotage and terrorism aimed at its core interests. Currently, the US also says it wants to take over Nord Stream.
In the interview, the top Russian diplomat also shared that Russia has repeatedly sought to convey to the US the benefits of establishing dialogue to resolve issues in the Persian Gulf and the Middle East in general.
According to him, every time the US intervenes in Middle East processes, the situation here "makes worse". By launching military action against Iran, the US has "put Arab allies in a difficult position".
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that the key to resolving the Iranian situation is to end the military actions of the US and Israel.
Recently, our Arab partners believe that there are 2 conflicts. One is a conflict conducted by the US and Israel against Iran, in which they do not participate. The second is Iran's groundless attacks on many locations in the Gulf monarchy. I can hardly accept this logic, because the root cause - the aggression of the US and Israel - is the key to solving it.
Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov also clarified the information, affirming that Russia did not provide intelligence to Iran in its confrontation with the US and Israel.
“We have provided some types of military equipment to Iran, but cannot agree with accusations that we provide intelligence,” he said.
In addition to the Middle East, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov also made many comments on the world energy market situation.
Russia acknowledges the US ambition to dominate the global energy market, as well as control the Strait of Hormuz. "In fact, Mr. Trump has made it quite clear that he wants to join Iran in controlling the Strait of Hormuz and all hydrocarbon shipments passing through it," Lavrov said.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov affirmed that Russia never wants conflicts initiated by other parties to cause global market volatility and push energy prices up.
In an interview, sharing about the nuclear issue, the Russian diplomat noted that French President Emmanuel Macron's statement on expanding nuclear capabilities shows that Paris has no intention of participating in nuclear deterrence negotiations.
Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov also said that the conditions for resuming dialogue between Moscow and Washington on nuclear deterrence are not yet ripe when "the Americans have weakened the entire foundation of military and strategic partnership with us".
According to him, "people who need to know" in the UK and France have been informed about the plan to provide nuclear weapons to Ukraine.
