Russian President Vladimir Putin told Iran’s foreign minister on Monday that the Kremlin is ready to help the Iranian people, coming after weekend airstrikes that targeted Iran’s nuclear program.

Putin hosted Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi in Moscow two days after U.S. President Donald Trump sent U.S. bomber planes to strike Iran’s three main nuclear sites.
