The White House condemned the sanctions issued against American journalists, including the warrant issued against Washington Examiner columnist Tom Rogan.
“Sadly, it’s consistent with the Kremlin approach to, particularly, journalists and the crackdown by the Kremlin on free speech and speech, in fact, that Mr. Putin finds offensive or inimical to his own selfish interests,” National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told reporters during Friday’s White House press briefing when asked about the warrant issued for Rogan.
Kirby further warned reporters on Friday that Russia was nearing a deal with Iran to purchase short-range ballistic missiles for use in its war against Ukraine, saying that those negotiations are “active and they’ve been advancing.” “Were Iran to proceed with providing ballistic missiles or related technology to Russia, we’re prepared to respond swiftly and in a coordinated manner, including with new and significant measures,” he said.
