Russia has called on the United States to step back from escalating rhetoric and return to diplomacy, urging Washington to abandon what it described as the “language of ultimatums” in dealing with Iran. The appeal came after a phone conversation between Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and his Iranian counterpart Abbas Araghchi, where both sides discussed ways to de-escalate the situation. According to Russia’s Foreign Ministry, Lavrov emphasized that diplomatic efforts remain the most viable path forward and that the United States could play a constructive role by shifting away from pressure tactics.#russia #iran #us #lavrov #geopolitics #diplomacy #middleeast #conflict #breakingnews

Green Asha Transit Marks Key Moment, Only One Lpg Tanker Left In The Region

After the LPG carrier Green Sanvi successfully passed through the Strait of Hormuz on April 3, another vessel, Green Asha, completed its transit on Sunday, according to the Directorate General of Shipping. The movement of these vessels highlights India’s efforts to ensure uninterrupted energy supply amid rising tensions in the region. Following Green Asha’s exit, only one LPG vessel, Jag Vikram, remains in the area, awaiting instructions from the Indian Navy for its passage. Earlier, two other LPG tankers had safely crossed the strait and reached India, maintaining the continuity of crucial fuel imports and demonstrating India’s strategic maritime coordination in a sensitive geopolitical environment.
