Former president of the aggressor country of russia Dmitry Medvedev said that after the US strikes on Iran, a number of countries were allegedly ready to provide Tehran with nuclear weapons. This caused public outrage from US President Donald Trump, who called for not using "nuclear rhetoric" so lightly. He wrote about this on the social network Truth Social.
What Medvedev wrote
On June 22, Medvedev said that after the US strikes on Iran, "a number of countries are ready to directly supply their nuclear weapons."
At the same time, he added that Iran itself would also continue attempts to manufacture its own nuclear weapons.
Trump's reaction
"Did I hear Former President Medvedev, from russia, casually throwing around the "N word" (Nuclear!), and saying that he and other Countries would supply Nuclear Warheads to Iran? Did he really say that, or is it just a figment of my imagination? If he did say that, and, if confirmed, please let me know, IMMEDIATELY. The "N word" should not be treated so casually. I guess that's why putin’s is “THE BOSS," Trump wrote.
Following Trump's statement, Medvedev wrote a post with justifications.
"Regarding President Trump's concerns: I condemn the US strike on Iran - it did not achieve its objectives. However, russia has no intention of supplying nuclear weapons to Iran, since, unlike Israel, we are parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons," he wrote.
Recall, according to Reuters, Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei sent his foreign minister to Moscow to ask russian leader vladimir putin for more assistance from russia amid the US strikes.
