Former U.S. President Donald Trump issued a direct warning to Russia and China, cautioning them against supplying weapons to Iran. The statement, made via his Truth Social platform, signals continued U.S. apprehension regarding Iran's military development and its potential impact on regional stability.
Trump's warning emerged shortly after media reports surfaced alleging that Washington was investigating claims of Moscow and Beijing providing Iran with targeting intelligence. This suggests a coordinated effort by the U.S. to monitor and potentially disrupt arms transfers to the Islamic Republic.
The former president's intervention underscores a persistent U.S. policy objective to curb Iran's military reach and influence. By publicly addressing Russia and China, Trump aimed to exert pressure and deter any actions that could be perceived as bolstering Iran's strategic capabilities.
