In response to a question about whether Russian President Vladimir Putin is providing support to Iran, U.S. President Donald Trump said, "I think he may be helping them a little bit, yes, I guess so." Comparing this possible move by Russia to U.S. actions, Trump stated, "He probably thinks that we are helping Ukraine, right? They are probably saying, 'They are doing it, we are doing it too.' China is probably saying the same thing."
US President Donald Trump, in a radio program he attended, made evaluations regarding the joint military operations of the US and Israel against Iran and Russia's stance.
"IT ENDS WHEN I FEEL IT IN MY BONES"
In response to a question about when the US and Israel-centered attacks would end, Trump stated, "I don't think it will take long. It will end when I feel it in my bones," conveying that he would make the decision based on the sentiment on the ground.
"WE HAVE BEEN GENTLE WITH IRAN..."
Trump claimed that they have dealt heavy blows to Iran's military infrastructure; that the navy, missile systems, and radars have been largely destroyed, and stated that the operations would continue with increased intensity, announcing that they would hit Iran even harder next week. Trump asserted that they deliberately did not touch civilian and critical infrastructure, stating that they have been gentle with Iran, and that if they wanted, they could render power plants unusable and completely prevent the country from getting back on its feet, but they did not resort to that path.
Regarding the specific military operation possibility to seize enriched uranium, Trump mentioned that they are not currently focused on this issue but could shift their targets in that direction in the future.
"PUTIN MAY BE HELPING IRAN A LITTLE"
Touching on Russia's role in the region, Trump, in response to a question about whether Putin is providing support to Iran, said, "I think he may be helping them a little, yes, I suspect so." Comparing this possible move by Russia to the actions of the US, Trump stated, "He probably thinks that we are helping Ukraine, right? They are probably saying, 'They are doing it, we are doing it too.' China is probably saying the same thing."
