Russian President Vladimir Putin has scolded US President Donald Trump for aggravating the situation in the Middle East following the assassination of Iranian general Qassem Soleimani.

Trump ordered the killing of Soleimani and Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, the deputy commander of Iran-backed militias in Iraq via drone strike on Friday at Baghdad International Airport.

‘This action can seriously aggravate the situation in the region,’ the Kremlin quoted Putin as saying during a telephone call with French President Emmanuel Macron.
