US President, Donald Trump, has said that he had a ‘very good call’ with President Vladimir Putin on Monday, adding that the Russian leader wants to help in the US-Israel war with Iran.
Trump addressed reporters on Monday evening, where he gave an update on the conflict now in its second week.
He said that during the conversation, they also talked about Ukraine and the “never-ending fight there.”
He said they also “talked about the Middle East,” adding that “Putin wants to be helpful.”
Recall that Putin had expressed support for Mojtaba Khamenei after his confirmation as the new supreme leader of Iran.
In a statement released by the Kremlin, he reiterated support for Tehran, assuring Russia “will remain a reliable partner of the Islamic Republic.”
Putin said Mojtaba assumed the role “when Iran is confronting armed aggression,” saying his work in the high office will require great courage and dedication.
The Russian leader believes 56-year-old Mojtaba will honorably continue his father’s work and unite the Iranian people “in the face of severe trials.”
