July 29, 2026

The Russian deputy permanent representative to the United Nations disclosed and condemned the West’s real purpose of aggression against and interference in Middle Eastern countries. 

At an open debate of the UN Security Council on July 22, he said that the Western countries unhesitatingly say they need Ukraine as a source of agricultural products and useful minerals, adding that the ambition to take natural resources of other countries for free is the root cause creating a serious crisis in the field of security as ever.

Taking the situation in Iraq and other Middle Eastern countries as an example, he said that the crisis still continuing in the Middle East is mainly related to the ambition to seize the key transport routes including the Strait of Hormuz, through which most of the world's hydrocarbons pass, and power resources.
