President Donald Trump on Tuesday repeated what he told Vladimir Putin after the Russian president offered to help mediate the war between Israel and Iran.
"Vladimir called me up. He said, 'Can I help you with Iran?'" Trump told reporters on Air Force One as he headed to The Hague for a NATO meeting.
"I said, 'No, I don't need help with Iran. I need help with you.'"
Outside the White House on Wednesday, Trump initially said Putin offered to mediate the Israel-Iran conflict during a phone call the day before.
"I said, 'Do me a favor, mediate your own,'" said Trump, referring to the Russia-Ukraine war. "'Let's mediate Russia first. OK?'"
On Air Force One, Trump spoke three days after ordering the U.S. military to take out three of Iran's nuclear facilities. The attack was successful, according to the president.
Putin told Iran's Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchion on Monday there was no justification for the U.S. bombing of his country and that Moscow was trying to help the Iranian people.
With Putin hosting Araqchion, Trump issued a preemptive warning against Moscow giving Tehran nuclear warheads.
"Did I hear Former President [Dmitry] Medvedev, from Russia, casually throwing around the 'N word' (Nuclear!), and saying that he and other countries would supply Nuclear Warheads to Iran?" Trump wrote in Truth Social post Monday. "Did he really say that or, is it just a figment of my imagination? If he did say that, and, if confirmed, please let me know, IMMEDIATELY."
Trump has been frustrated with Putin's resistance to engage in ceasefire talks with Ukraine.

Hey, President Trump is Right!
That’s a lame article. More like a brief column, than an article…no depth at all.
Not for nothing, but Putin could say the same thing to President Trump. Don’t worry about Ukraine/Russia nor Israel/Iran. The USA isn’t at war with Russia nor Iran. We just had a “special operation” in Iran and a “proxy war” in Ukraine. Not really anything other than that, eh.
But I was assured by Adam Schiff that Trump works for Putin
My opinion is, we’re justified in Iran, not Ukraine at all.
Trump is on Fire!
Love this Man.

Great Powers meddling in the affairs of smaller nations is how the Great War started.
It's not our problem and there are domestic issues that are far more important.
Americans
Killed by Iran:
The total number of Americans killed as a result of Iranian or Iran-backed action over 40 years is likely over 600, with some estimates exceeding 800–1,000 when accounting for indirect deaths and unclassified or disputed incidents.
Killed by Russia:
None.
Blunt but truth
Talking to yourself now? I thought you sounded a little off...
The installments are just from different News sources and they are brief.
JUST FOR ALL YOU DEMOCRAT RETARDS BITCHING THAT TRUMP ATTACKED IRAN!
PammsyNow on X: “Well, it seems , @HillaryClinton would agree with Trump’s decision tonight! Remember Hillary???! https://t.co/u5w7i06Q24” / X
Yeah, I imagine clarification may sound a little off to some unthinking individuals.😆
“Great Powers meddling in the affairs of smaller nations is how the Great War started.”
No, the shoe was on the other foot on that one. Small powers messing in the affairs of a great power. Serbian nationalists stirring up trouble for Austria-Hungary in Bosnia caused that one.
Well Trump still hasn’t completed his campaign promise to end the war before he took office.
