The sudden death of U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham, aged 71, has triggered an avalanche of conspiracy theories across social media, with speculation spreading far more quickly than verified information.
The country at the center of this story, India, started shifting its crude import strategy sharply after March 2026. Before this, it mostly relied on oil from West Asia, especially from nations like Iraq, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Kuwait. But when the Strait of Hormuz disruptions began, those traditional flows became risky and expensive.Â
Putin praised PM Modi's leadership, saying India has consistently pursued policies that prioritize its national interests while maintaining constructive relations with multiple global powers.
Now, India has bought 60 Million barrels of Russian Oil for delivery in April. This again shows Indian government's foresight as they are preparing for a scenario where this conflict stretches longer.
India and Russia have set a $100 billion trade target by 2030, even as US tariffs and sanctions shake up global supply chains. Beyond cheap oil and defence deals, what exactly do the two countries buy and sell from each other – from food and pharma to nuclear energy and Arctic routes?
Even with Trump's warnings, evidence shows India bought even more oil from Russia after Trump talked about tariffs, which makes people wonder if Trump is telling the truth.
