During the War in Iran, Trump Predicts: 'Russia Would Also Be Broken' 0 10

U.S. President Donald Trump stated that he has no information about Russia providing intelligence to Iran to strike American military targets, but believes that such support would unlikely help Tehran, as it is 'doing poorly.' He added that under the pressure of American armed forces, Iran has been 'broken,' and the same would happen to Russia under such conditions.

Recently, several American media outlets, including the Washington Post and CNN, reported that Moscow is allegedly sharing information with Tehran for airstrikes in the Middle East. The Russian side declined to comment on the information to journalists.

In response to questions on this matter, Trump stated that he does not possess such information. He added that even if military intelligence cooperation between Iran and Russia is taking place, 'they are not doing very well.'

'I don’t have that information. If that’s the case, they are not doing very well; Iran is doing poorly,' Trump said.

The U.S. President also gave his special envoy and negotiator with Moscow, Steve Whitcoff, the opportunity to speak. He stated that he 'firmly demanded' Moscow not to provide support to Tehran. Whitcoff did not specify through which channels and at what level this message was conveyed.

'I hope they are not doing that,' Whitcoff said.

Trump then added that if such information were passed by Russia, it could be said that the country is acting against the U.S. in the Iranian conflict, but he did not specify what the consequences might be.

'They can send as much information as they want, but the people they are sending it to are broken. Russia would also be broken; anyone in that position would be broken,' Trump stated regarding the course of the American operation.

In the same comments, Trump rejected media suspicions of U.S. responsibility for the deaths of more than 100 schoolchildren in a strike on an educational institution in Iran and placed the blame on Tehran itself. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, standing next to Trump, noted that the department continues to investigate these reports but believes that 'Iran is the only party targeting civilians.'

The U.S. President also reiterated that he expects 'unconditional surrender' from Tehran.

'Either they will plead for mercy, or they will have no one left to fight and plead,' Trump stated.
