Trump to ask Putin about Russia-Iran support

U.S. President Donald Trump told reporters that he'd speak directly to Russian President Vladimir Putin about reports that Russia is helping Iran target U.S. assets in the Middle East.

Axar.az reports, citing Kyiv Independent, that Trump was questioned about the reports shortly after President Volodymyr Zelensky said on July 25 that Moscow has been providing Tehran satellite imagery of U.S. and Gulf military installations throughout the U.S. war against Iran. Zelensky said Kyiv had observed "clear correlation between Russia's satellite imagery of these sites and Iranian strikes."

During a press gaggle aboard Air Force One on July 27, Trump was asked about Zelensky's allegations and what the U.S. planned to do about it.

"We'll find out if that's true," Trump said. "I'll ask Putin about it. We'll find out."

Trump then said that even if Russia were helping Iran attack U.S. facilities, such assistance likely made a negligible impact. He referenced the U.S. invasion of Venezuela, where Russian-supplied air defense systems failed to stop the American attack.

"It hasn't had much impact because we've knocked the hell out of (Iran)," Trump said. "Look, you know, (Russia) gave Venezuela a lot of equipment. Venezuela had all Russian equipment. How did that work out? Not too good."
