US senator’s remarks show real issue is oil: Foreign Ministry spox

Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei on Monday reacted to recent anti-Iran remarks by US Senator Lindsey Graham, saying the comments revealed the real motive behind Washington’s stance.

Baqaei shared a video on the social media platform X featuring Graham stating, “Venezuela and Iran have 31 percent of the world’s oil reserves. We’re gonna have a partnership with 31 percent of the known reserves. This is China’s nightmare. This is a good investment and we should applaud our men and women in military who’re doing something I’ve never seen done before.”

Responding to the remarks, the spokesperson wrote, “Very rare moment of honesty: It’s all about OIL.”
