Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, when asked by a reporter whether Moscow is helping Iran target American forces, responded with a dismissive 'Nice haircut,' according to a report.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov deflected a direct question about whether Moscow is assisting Iran in attacks against American forces, responding with a dismissive 'Nice haircut' rather than an answer. The exchange, reported by a Hebrew-language source, did not include the name of the reporter or the venue. The question comes amid growing concerns over Russian and Chinese support for Iran's military operations. As The Zioneer has reported, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth stated in the Senate that Russia and China enable Iran's warfare, and the Wall Street Journal cited American officials flagging possible targeting assistance from both countries. Lavrov's non-answer is unlikely to clarify the extent of cooperation, but reflects the dismissive tone Moscow often adopts toward such queries. No further details were provided.
