A claim circulating online alleges the United States is buying Iranian oil from Russia and reselling it to the European Union. The post calls the situation worse than a previous assumption that the US was buying Russian oil for EU resale, and invokes figures including Ursula von der Leyen, Kaja Kallas and Donald Trump amid tensions over Iran and the Strait of Hormuz.
