U.S. President Donald Trump stated that Vladimir Putin may be assisting Iran, according to the Associated Press.

"I think he might be helping them a little bit, yeah, I guess,” Trump said in an interview with Fox News that will air in full later Friday. “And he probably thinks we’re helping Ukraine, right?"

"Yeah, we’re helping them also,” Trump continued. “And so he says that, and China would say the same thing, you know. It’s like, hey, they do it and we do it in all fairness."

His comments follow reports from U.S. intelligence suggesting that Russia has provided Iran with data that could help Tehran target American warships, aircraft, and other assets in the region.
