G7 weighs releasing strategic oil reserves as Israeli-US war drives prices higher Finance ministers from the Group of Seven (G7) are set to discuss the possible use of strategic oil reserves during a videoconference meeting on Monday, a French government source told the AFP.

Beijing’s comments follow earlier remarks from China’s foreign minister, Wang Yi, who urged respect for Iran’s sovereignty and warned against attempts to reshape the country’s political system from outside. “Plotting a ‘colour’ revolution or seeking government change will find no popular support,” Wang said yesterday.
