Iran’s Foreign Minister Was Asked Whether Russia Is Helping Them Locate U.S. Forces — And His Answer Was Telling

Foreign Minister of Iran Abbas Araghchi evaded a question about whether the country is receiving help from Russia to help locate U.S. forces as the U.S. and Israel continue to strike Iran.

“Are you receiving any help from Russia?” moderator Kristen Welker directly asked Araghchi Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

Araghchi replied, “Well, we have a strategy partnership with Russia,” prompting Welker to further press him, asking, “So that’s a yes?”

“Well, a military cooperation between Iran and Russia is not something new. It’s not a secret. It has been in the past, and it’s still there, and will continue in the future,” the Iranian diplomat replied.

Welker didn’t let up. She asked for clarification whether or not Russia is helping Iran “locate U.S. forces.”
