UK: 'Hidden Influence' of Putin Likely Aiding Iran

The 'hidden influence' of Vladimir Putin is likely aiding Iran in the war of Donald Trump, according to UK Defence Secretary John Healey, as it was revealed that drones linked to Iran struck a base in Iraq where British troops are stationed. The British troops were not injured. Mr. Healey pointed out that Iranian attacks have characteristics similar to the way Russian forces operate in Ukraine, including a change in the way drones are used.
