Russian President Vladimir Putin discussed Iran's nuclear program with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian in a phone call, the Kremlin press service said on Tuesday.

Iran is interested in chemical and biological weapons and has made some inquiries regarding the process of acquiring such weapons, The Jerusalem Post reported on Monday.

The meeting between Putin and Pezeshkian comes a day after US President Donald Trump met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to discuss, among other things, potential military action against the Islamic regime.

Trump said he would be open to supporting another rapid Israeli attack on Iran if Iran continues developing its ballistic missile and nuclear weapons programs.

“Iran may be behaving badly. Because it has not been confirmed, but if it is, the consequences will be more severe than last time,” Trump added, and also addressed the situation in Lebanon, claiming that Hezbollah "is behaving badly" and that "we will see what to do."
