Russia and China are helping Iran "politically and otherwise," Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said in an interview with NBC. The interviewer then asked whether there was military assistance after the start of US and Israel strikes.

"Well, military cooperation between Iran and Asia, and Russia is no secret. You know, we have worked with each other in the past, and it has continued and will continue, I believe," the minister replied.

Then the journalist asked again if this was a positive answer to his question about assistance during the exchange of strikes with Israel and the US. Araghchi responded that "assistance has always been provided," and upon a repeated clarification, emphasized: "I will not disclose all the details with other countries in the middle of the war."
