Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump discussed the escalating crisis between Israel and Iran in a roughly hour-long phone call on Saturday.

In a postBloomberg Terminal on Truth Social, the US president didn’t discuss the substance of the conversation beyond saying that Putin “feels, as do I, this war in Israel-Iran should end, to which I explained, his war should also end.”
