In addition, the American Minister stated that the only source of income for the Russian economy is the sale of energy. Russia is pursuing an active policy in the middle East, because it wants to sell its oil and gas as it does in Europe, he explained.
Zinke also said that the situation with Iran is very similar to the situation with Russia, saying that there are two solutions to these issues.
