“ The US treasury has issued a 30-day waiver allowing India to buy Russian oil, having previously imposed heavy sanctions related to the war in Ukraine.”

Looks to me like they are, let’s be generous and say indirectly, helping Russia. Russia who is assisting our enemy Iran with targeting Americans per WaPo.

From what I have read Russia hit a 4 year low in oil and gas revenue in January and the longer the Iran war goes on the more Russia will likely benefit financially from the increase in oil prices. Not good for us and our ally Ukraine.
