Trump and Putin Have ‘Frank’ Hour-Long Iran War Talk, No Complaints Recorded
KEY POINTS
- •On Monday, Trump and Putin spoke for about an hour discussing the Iran war and efforts to end the Ukraine conflict.
- •Russia is aligned with Iran, causing US officials to worry about intelligence sharing despite White House warnings.
- •Paris, Beijing, and Moscow engaged in talks about a ceasefire, while the US quietly let India buy Russian oil.
In an hour-long call on a Monday so packed it could trigger a scheduling crisis, Trump and Putin discussed the raging Iran war — a spicy topic given Russia’s cozy ties with Iran and Washington’s expressed suspicion of sneaky intelligence coups. White House envoy Steve Witkoff chimed in earlier pleading with Russia to play nice and not share spy secrets with Tehran, while Kremlin spokespeople hailed the conversation as 'frank' and shockingly 'businesslike.' Putin offered 'several proposals' for a ceasefire, while Iran’s deputy foreign minister bragged that France, China, and Russia might sketch out peace terms, leaving the White House suspiciously quiet. Oh, and they squeezed in some small talk on oil price spikes and a cheeky US permit letting India buy Russian oil on the sly, because why not?

(1 of 3)Two former world leaders discussing wars, oil, and peace proposals like a tense episode of 'Diplomacy Poker'—and yeah, nobody wants to fold first.
Nothing says 'businesslike' like the architect of chaos and the maestro of mischief hashing out Iran war deals over the phone.
Russia tells Trump 'don’t share intel with Iran,' then quietly shares oil with India. If diplomacy were a reality show, we’d all be canceled.
