Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov suggested that India could play a major diplomatic role between the United States and Iran amid escalating regional tensions. Lavrov argued that India’s strong relations with Arab nations and Tehran position New Delhi as a credible long-term mediator in the Middle East. He also claimed recent U.S. actions against Iran were intended to “antagonize Iran and its neighbors,” warning of growing instability across the region. The remarks come as global powers search for diplomatic channels to avoid wider conflict. Analysts say Russia is increasingly backing India as a stabilizing force in West Asian geopolitics and future U.S.-Iran negotiations

00:00I believe that this hostility, this aggression against Iran was motivated, among other things, to antagonize Iran and its Arab
00:11neighbors, to instill more hostility in their relations.
00:14And we are trying to act with the opposite goal in mind.
00:17And you can see that Pakistan is helping establish dialogue between Iran and the United States to resolve the urgent
00:27problems.
00:32To resolve the existing crisis.
00:34And if we speak long-term mediator between Iran and its Arab friends, well, this role could be played by
00:43India, considering its vast diplomatic experience and authority and clout.
00:49The main topic, we need to understand the root causes of every conflict, and we understand what is the root
00:55cause here, unprovoked aggression by the U.S. and Israel against Iran.
01:01And now everyone calling upon Iran and everyone else with this demand to open up the Strait of Hormuz.
01:09I would like to remind you that before February 28th, before the start of this aggression, there was no problem,
01:16any problem with the Strait of Hormuz.
01:18The navigation was ensured, safe navigation was ensured 100%.
01:24So when this aggression against Iran was launched, the goal was clear, it was declared to put an end to
01:39the period of history where allegedly Iran instilled fear and terror into its neighboring countries.
01:48It's the same with the kidnapping of President Maduro from Venezuela when he was accused of drug trafficking.
01:56And then it turned out that the U.S. was not interested in drug trafficking.
02:00They were interested in oil.
02:01The same is here.
02:02They are interested in oil that is to be shipped by the Strait of Hormuz.
02:07But Iran was not the country that blocked the Strait of Hormuz.
02:10Iran was not the country that created this problem in relation with other neighboring countries, in relation with the Persian
02:20Gulf states.
02:21Because we are not imposing ourselves on the Europeans and answered by President Putin must be considered in this regard.
02:30We are open for negotiations, but we are not going to run after them, to back them for these talks,
02:36especially since their background is negative, their ability to negotiate, to come to any agreements is negative.
02:46If they had a chance, both in February 2014, they had a chance to resolve this crisis.
02:53And in February 2014, the agreement was violated and the coup d'etat took place.
02:57And then in February 2015, the Minsk Accords were signed.
03:01And in both cases, Europeans were guarantors of this agreement.
03:04And they failed as guarantors and as good faith mediators.
