Russian President Vladimir Putin arrived in Iran for his first international trip beyond the borders of the former Soviet Union since launching his invasion of Ukraine, which effectively ruptured ties with the West. Putin met with Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi in Tehran, and with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. He also met with Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei. CNN’s Alex Marquardt reports and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper weighs in on Putin’s trip. #CNN #News
