[Iranian Foreign Minister: U.S. Government Insiders Manipulate Energy Markets for Personal Gain] Golden Finance reported on August 29 that Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi stated: Our intelligence indicates that certain individuals are heavily manipulating the energy market. Some personnel within the U.S. government are using media that readily believe misleading information to influence prices for personal gain, while keeping the U.S. President deeply entangled in a war that is already doomed to fail. Individuals aligned with Israel's stance are also promoting the war by releasing optimistic assessments. The real ultimate cost is being directly felt by American consumers.
