Trump: Putin May Be Helping Iran ‘a Little Bit’

Trump says Putin may provide Iran with targeting data and drone tactics used against U.S. and allies, benefiting from $7 billion in oil revenues amid Middle East conflict.

  • On Friday, President Donald Trump told Fox News host Brian Kilmeade that Russian President Vladimir Putin "might be helping" Iran, effectively acknowledging Moscow may be providing support despite earlier denials from U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff.
  • Russia is reportedly aiding Iran's attacks by providing "targeting information" and "drone tactics" honed during the war in Ukraine, according to reporting from the Post and CNN.
  • Iranian drone strikes recently killed half a dozen personnel in Kuwait, while Russian satellite imagery helps Iran target U.S. assets, contributing to a conflict that has killed seven American service members and injured 140.
  • Shutting the Strait of Hormuz and triggering a global oil supply shock, Iranian attacks have forced ports in Iraq to close, allowing Russia to generate $7 billion in oil revenues in the last week alone.
  • Reliance on multimillion-dollar Patriot interceptors could have been mitigated had Trump accepted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's standing offer to share advanced counter-drone technology and interceptor expertise.
