CIA director Burns says talks with Russians have left him with gray hair
CIA director William Burns said that a photo of Russian President Vladimir Putin in Iran reminded him of gray hair. About this he declared during the annual Aspen Institute Security Forum in Colorado.
“I don’t get nostalgic when I look at Putin and Iran’s supreme leader Ali Khamenei because most of my gray hair comes from negotiations with the Russians and Iranians,” he said.
In 2021, Burns already admitted that he became gray-haired because of Russia. Then he warned that “the United States should not underestimate the threat that comes from Russia and Putin.” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov appreciated Burns’s remarks, saying that he was “not strong in gerontology”, so he would prefer to refrain from any comments.
