Duran hosts claim Lavrov–Rubio meeting sought to stop alleged Russian help to Iran

What was said

"I think that the Americans came along. They're obviously furious about the fact that the Russians, as they believe, are providing help to the Iranians. They're absolutely furious that the Russians are targeting CIA uh PE personnel."

The Duran’s Alexander Mercouris argues the Lavrov–Rubio meeting in Manila was requested by the US and was focused on Washington’s concern that Russia is assisting Iran with strikes against CIA-linked targets in the Middle East. He says Russia would deny involvement while, in his view, continuing support, framing it as retaliation for US intelligence support to Ukraine’s strikes inside Russia.
