Russia–Iran Military Cooperation

Kremlin officials said President Trump initiated a roughly one‑hour phone call with Vladimir Putin — their first since the start of the Iran war — in which they discussed the Iran conflict, the war in Ukraine and global energy markets; Putin reportedly presented proposals for a quick political and diplomatic settlement and the two agreed such calls should occur “on a regular basis.” Kremlin foreign‑policy adviser Yuri Ushakov described the conversation as “frank and businesslike,” and Moscow, not the White House, provided the public readout.
