India, April 30 -- Kremlin foreign policy aide Yuri Ushakov on Wednesday said that Russian President Vladimir Putin warned the US against "damaging consequences" of a new military action in Iran. In a phone call between Putin and US President Donald Trump, both leaders discussed the Iran war and the possibility of a ceasefire in Ukraine.

The phone call that lasted more than an hour and a half was described as "friendly, frank and businesslike," by Kremlin aide, AFP reported.

Putin "highlighted the inevitable and extremely damaging consequences not only for Iran and its neighbours, but also for the entire international community, should the US and Israel resort to military action once again," Yuri Ushakov was quoted as saying.
