Pressed about whether Iran is receiving Russian support, Abbas Araghchi told NBC News’ “Meet the Press” that “they are helping us in many different directions.”

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has rejected calls for a ceasefire in the Middle East, telling NBC News’ “Meet the Press” that his country needs “to continue fighting for the sake of our people.”

The U.S. and Israel “are killing our people, they are killing girl students, you know, they are attacking hospitals,” he told moderator Kristen Welker.

He said Israel and the U.S. had already shattered the ceasefire reached to end last year’s 12-day war, adding, “And now you want to ask for a ceasefire again? This doesn’t work like this.”

On Friday, four sources told NBC News that Russia was providing intelligence to Iran on the location of U.S. forces in the Middle East, including intelligence that could help Iran locate American warships.

    They should have agreed, but not done it. That’s similar to what USA did when they attacked during peace negotiations.
    You can’t trust Trump, and when you can’t trust him, you can’t trust USA.
    Give him a taste of his own lying medicine.
