MOSCOW — Iran’s President Ebrahim Raisi spoke by phone today with Russian President Vladimir Putin and expressed his “full support” following the aborted mutiny of a mercenary chief, the Kremlin says.
“The Iranian president expressed full support for the Russian leadership in connection with the June 24 events,” the Kremlin says. Putin also received a call from Qatar’s Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, who also expressed his backing, the Kremlin adds.
