Today, June 23, Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei sent his foreign minister to moscow to ask russian leader vladimir putin for more help from russia amid US strikes.
This is reported by Reuters.
Thus, a senior source told the publication that Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi was to deliver a letter from Khamenei to putin asking for support.
Iranian sources told the agency that Iran has not yet been impressed by russia's support, and the country wants putin to do more to support it in its confrontation with Israel and the United States. The sources did not specify what kind of help Tehran wants.
Meanwhile, the kremlin said that putin will receive Araqchi, but did not say what the meeting will be about. According to Araghchi, quoted by russian media, Iran and russia are coordinating their positions on the current escalation in the Middle East.
It is noted that although putin condemned the Israeli strikes, he has not yet commented on the American attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities. Putin has repeatedly offered to mediate between the United States and Iran and stated that he had conveyed to them moscow's ideas on resolving the conflict while ensuring Iran's continued access to civilian nuclear energy.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, on June 22, US President Donald Trump said that US forces had launched a series of strikes on Iranian nuclear program facilities.
As Fox News later reported, US forces attacked facilities in Fordow, Isfahan and Natanz using bunker-busting bombs and Tomahawk missiles.
NBC News reported that the Trump administration expects Iran to retaliate against US forces in the Middle East within 48 hours. The US State Department also issued a global security alert advising US citizens abroad to exercise increased caution due to the escalation in the Middle East.
Meanwhile, the Yemeni Houthis (Ansar Allah) have announced their entry into the conflict between Israel and its allies against Iran on the side of the Islamic Republic. The Houthis have already threatened to attack allied ships in the Red Sea.
