US Waiver for Indian Oil Imports from Russia Sparks Criticism

Renowned energy and geopolitical expert Dr. Anas Al-Hajji, in an interview with The Hindustan Times, has called the 30-day waver given by the US to India to buy oil from Russia a very sad situation. In his words, "India is a great country. Why do they have to take Trump's permission to buy Russian oil? It is very sad." He said that the Trump administration is claiming that the Iran war is almost over and the Strait of Hormuz or "Irma Space" will be safe soon. Dr. Al-Hajji asks, "If the situation really comes back to normal, why does India have to rely on this 30-day waiver? It indicates that the situation is not really normal at all."
