According to the British Prime Minister, Russia should not be allowed to benefit from the Iranian war, which has led to rising oil prices and allowed the US to partially lift sanctions against Russia.

Our resolve is unwavering. I think it's very important that we are clear that the focus must remain on Ukraine. Obviously, there is an ongoing conflict in Iran in the Middle East, but we cannot lose focus on what is happening in Ukraine and the need for our support. Putin cannot be the one who benefits from the conflict in Iran, whether it's oil prices or the lifting of sanctions.
