Vladimir Putin erupts at Donald Trump and vows Russia will help Iran | World | News
Vladimir Putin slammed Donald Trump after the US struck nuclear sites in Iran and said Russia would assist Tehran. He blasted the strike as “unprovoked aggression that has no justification”.
The US President claimed American forces “obliterated” three key Iranian nuclear sites in a mission, known as Operation Midnight Hammer, in the early hours on Sunday morning. Tehran has vowed to retaliate and according to the Russian state news agency TASS, Mr Putin said Moscow is “making efforts to help [the] Iranian people”. Mr Putin had not previously commented on the American strikes on Iran, although he did earlier condemn Israeli attacks.
It is not clear what Mr Putin means by “help” and it comes as Iran’s foreign minister Abbas Araghchi is due to meet and hold talks with the Russian President in Moscow.
Iran is a close ally of the Kremlin and has been a major supporter of Russia’s war in Ukraine.
Tehran has supplied Russia with huge numbers of kamikaze Shahed drones which Moscow forces have used to constantly bombard Ukraine.
