What is Trump’s position if it turns out that Russia is providing Iran with information? The White House explains
He said The White House The US President Donald Trump won’t be happy if it turns out that Russiaprovides Iran provided intelligence information about the ongoing war in the Middle East, while avoiding directing sharp criticism at Moscow.
The newspaper was "The Washington Post" It was reported on Friday that Moscow had provided Iran with sensitive intelligence information, including the locations of American warships and aircraft in the region.
But Washington’s comment on that information was characterized by reservation, saying Trump said on Monday that his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, wants to play a useful role on the ongoing conflict line in the Middle East, despite his stress to Iran’s new supreme leader about Russia’s firm support for Tehran.
US message to Russia
White House spokeswoman Caroline Levitt said in a press briefing. "The president and his special envoy, Steve Witkoff, both said they had sent a message to Russia that if this was actually happening, this was something they would not be happy about, and they expressed their hope that that would not be the case."
Witkoff, who played a major role in US talks with both Russia and Iran in recent months, said that the Russian statements should be taken seriously in their denial of providing Tehran with intelligence information.
In response to a question by the network "CNBC" Asked whether the Russians provided Iran with intelligence information, and why Washington might lift sanctions on Russia even if that happened, Witkopf said: "I’m not an intelligence officer, so I can’t say"
He continued: What I can say is that I was in contact with the president yesterday. The Russians said that they do not provide Iran with intelligence information. This is what they said, so let us take their words at face value.
