Russian President Vladimir Putin yesterday said that ‘unjustified’ US. attacks on Iran’s nuclear sites were pushing the world towards great danger and he promised to try to help the Iranian people, although did not spell out how.
US President Donald Trump and Israel have publicly speculated about killing Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and about regime change, steps Russia says could thrust the entire region into the abyss of a major war.
Putin received Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi in the Kremlin alongside Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, Kremlin foreign policy aide Yuri Ushakov and Igor Kostyukov, the head of Russia’s GRU military intelligence agency.
“The absolutely unprovoked aggression against Iran has no basis and no justification,” Putin told Araqchi.
Araqchi was due to deliver a letter from Khamenei to Putin, seeking more help from Russia, a senior source told Reuters.
