Secret visit, Putin meets with Iran's national security chief

Ali Larijani

Russian President Vladimir Putin received Ali Larijani, secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, at the Kremlin on Friday, the presidential spokesman said.

Dmitry Peskov said the meeting took place during Larian's visit to Russia, without providing further details.

US President Donald Trump has urged Iran to reach a deal on its nuclear program.

On Friday, he spoke again about the US warships heading towards Iran, claiming they form a much larger "armada" than the fleet sent before the attack on Venezuela earlier this month that captured President Nicolas Maduro.
