The head of the US<\/a> Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Dan Kane, said Russia<\/a> is providing assistance to Iran<\/a> amid Tehran\u2019s confrontation with the US, according to remarks made during a US Senate<\/a> hearing on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Speaking at a public session of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Kane told lawmakers that Russian President Vladimir Putin<\/a> is supporting Iran\u2019s military efforts, British newspaper The Guardian<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n

Kane declined to provide details about the nature of Russia\u2019s assistance, citing the open setting of the hearing, but said: \u201cThere is definitely some action going on there.\u201d<\/p>\n

The committee\u2019s chairman, Republican Senator Roger Wicker, agreed with Kane\u2019s assessment.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no doubt that Putin\u2019s Russia is taking serious steps to undermine our efforts to achieve success in Iran,\u201d Wicker said.<\/p>\n

The comments follow earlier statements by US President Donald Trump<\/a>, who said in March that Putin may be helping Iran.<\/p>\n

In April, President Volodymyr Zelensky<\/a> said the United States was overlooking what he described as convincing evidence of Russian assistance to Iranian attacks on American bases in the Middle East<\/a> because Washington<\/a> \u201ctrusts\u201d Putin.<\/p>\n

Russia and Iran have significantly expanded military and strategic cooperation in recent years, including in the context of Moscow\u2019s war against Ukraine<\/a> and Tehran\u2019s regional activities.<\/p>\n
