TEHRAN, July 16 - In his weekly press conference on Monday, Iran's FM Spokesman stated that Iran had no message to convay to the US president through Putin.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - "If somewhere something has been said, it is all speculation. Putin and Trump's meeting has been schedualed in advance, with their own concerns. We have no relation with the Russian government in this regard" Ghassemi said.
US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin are in the Finnish capital, Helsinki, for a meeting that is expected to revolve around a range of sensitive issues from US claims of Russia’s election hacking to the Syria conflict and the crisis in Ukraine.
Both sides have talked down the Monday event, with Trump telling CBS on Sunday that he was going in with “low expectations.”
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov told Russia’s RT TV station on Sunday that he did not hold high expectations for the meeting either.
