Trump Responds to Medvedev's Nuclear Remarks
Former US President Donald Trump stirred controversy by accusing Dmitry Medvedev, former Russian President, of casually proposing the supply of nuclear warheads to Iran. Trump highlighted the severity of such statements, emphasizing that the “N word” — nuclear — should not be used lightly. "I guess that’s why Putin’s THE BOSS," Trump remarked in a Truth Social post.
Trump’s Message on Nuclear Weapons
In his post, Trump questioned if Medvedev truly made these claims and urged immediate confirmation if true. He went on to extol America’s nuclear submarines, labeling them as “the most powerful and lethal weapons ever built.” Trump praised the recent success of a strike where all 30 Tomahawks launched landed perfectly, underscoring the advanced capability of US military technology.
Medvedev’s Critique of US Strikes on Iran
Medvedev's comments came a day after US nighttime strikes targeted three nuclear sites in Iran. He questioned the effectiveness of these attacks, suggesting that Iran’s critical nuclear infrastructure remained largely intact. More provocatively, Medvedev claimed that multiple countries were prepared to directly supply Iran with nuclear warheads, hinting at escalating nuclear proliferation risks.
He remarked, "What have the Americans accomplished with their nighttime strikes on three nuclear sites in Iran?" pointing out that Iran's enrichment efforts and future nuclear weapons development would likely continue unabated.
Regional Tensions Escalate
Medvedev also highlighted the turmoil in Israel, describing it as gripped by explosions and panic, and cautioned that the US might be drawn into a broader conflict with potential ground operations looming.
Putin Condemns US Assaults, Supports Iran
Russian President Vladimir Putin echoed condemnation of the US strikes, branding them as “unprovoked aggression” without justification. He reaffirmed Russia’s strong ties with Iran, stating, "We have long-standing, good, and reliable relations with Iran," and emphasized efforts to assist the Iranian people amid mounting tensions.
Israel Intensifies Military Actions Against Iran
In response to the growing conflict, Israel expanded its military campaign targeting Iranian sites, including Tehran’s notorious Evin Prison—known for detaining political dissidents—and the headquarters of paramilitary forces involved in cracking down on recent domestic unrest. These strikes signal an escalation in regional hostilities and underline the precariousness of the Middle East security landscape.
