The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Dan Caine, told senators that Russian President Vladimir Putin has been providing assistance to Iran in military operations, UNN reports, citing the AP.
General Caine declined to go into details, citing the public nature of the hearing, but said: "Certainly, some actions are taking place."
The committee chairman, Republican Senator Roger Wicker, agreed, stating: "There is no doubt that Vladimir Putin's Russia is taking serious actions to undermine our efforts to achieve success in Iran."
As a reminder
Earlier, US President Donald Trump stated that the United States of America has no confirmation of the Russian Federation's involvement in providing assistance to Iran amid the escalation in the Middle East.
