🇷🇺 Putin Breaks Silence: "Iran Has Not Asked Russia for Help" Amid Middle East Tensions
In a powerful statement during a closed-door roundtable with top media editors on June 18, Russian President Vladimir Putin revealed that Iran has not officially sought any assistance from Moscow amid rising tensions with Israel.
While responding to questions surrounding the escalating Iran-Israel conflict, Putin said bluntly,
“As of now, Iran has not asked Russia for any help.”
The Russian president also refused to comment on the growing concerns regarding a possible assassination plot targeting Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
“I don't want to think about that or comment on it. I’ve heard the rumors, but I will say nothing,” Putin said with noticeable restraint.
🔥 What Sparked the Rumors?
The speculation about a possible assassination attempt first surfaced after a controversial statement by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who hinted that eliminating Khamenei could potentially bring the war to an end.
U.S. President Donald Trump later added fuel to the fire by claiming,
“We know exactly where Khamenei is, but we have no plans to take him out—for now.”
These remarks have sparked global concern and raised alarms about whether a silent war is already underway behind the scenes.
