Russians may play Iranian card against Ukraine amid Trump’s claims to Tehran - analysts

Recently, U.S. President Donald Trump accused Iran of financing the DPRK, as well as supporting Al Qaeda and the Taliban.

Clearly, the Moscow-incited reports claimed the cargo was intended for terrorists, in particular for the Curds and the Islamic State.

Information Resistance notes that the Russians seem to rely on a “water breaks stone” principle as they keep pouring accusations on Ukraine not actually caring to support them with factual evidence.
