The head of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Dan Kane, said Russia is providing assistance to Iran amid Tehran’s confrontation with the US, according to remarks made during a US Senate hearing on Thursday.
Speaking at a public session of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Kane told lawmakers that Russian President Vladimir Putin is supporting Iran’s military efforts, British newspaper The Guardian reported.
Kane declined to provide details about the nature of Russia’s assistance, citing the open setting of the hearing, but said: “There is definitely some action going on there.”
The committee’s chairman, Republican Senator Roger Wicker, agreed with Kane’s assessment.
“There is no doubt that Putin’s Russia is taking serious steps to undermine our efforts to achieve success in Iran,” Wicker said.
