US officials ask ‘What does #Putin have on #Trump?’ over downplayed #Russian intel to #Iran

The #criticism intensified after #Washington granted a temporary waiver allowing #India to purchase #Russian crude already loaded on #tankers at sea in order to offset supply disruptions caused by the conflict with #Iran.

This followed months of U.S. pressure on #India to scale back imports of #RussianOil.

#trump proposal for #usa #navy to escort #oil #tankers via #StraitOfHormuz is a clear indication of how delusional this administration is. People are actively avoiding even getting near us assets (bases, embassies) or ares with significant American presence. Us is already hostile to #iran. Having us navy escorting ships is only increasing the risk for these ships to be a target for Iranian prpjectiles.
