President Donald Trump took a swipe at former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev for suggesting that other countries would step in to supply Iran with nuclear warheads in retaliation for the U.S. strikes on Saturday that targeted three Iranian nuclear facilities. <\/p>\n
‘Did I hear Former President Medvedev, from Russia, casually throwing around the \u2018N word\u2019 (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 \u2018N word\u2019 should not be treated so casually. I guess that\u2019s why Putin\u2019s \u2018THE BOSS,\u2019’ Trump said in a Truth Social Post on Monday. <\/p>\n
Trump\u2019s comments came after Medvedev, now the deputy chairman of the Security Council of Russia, said that Iran would continue to advance its nuclear program and would receive assistance from other nations to do so. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
‘The enrichment of nuclear material \u2014 and, now we can say it outright, the future production of nuclear weapons \u2014 will continue,’ Medvedev said in a Sunday X post. <\/p>\n
‘A number of countries are ready to directly supply Iran with their own nuclear warheads,’ Medvedev said.<\/p>\n
He did not specify which countries could be involved in providing Iran with nuclear capabilities, but Russia historically has supported Iran’s nuclear program. Last week, Russian President Vladimir Putin also offered to broker peace talks between Iran and Israel. <\/p>\n
Likewise, Moscow has also offered to intervene and help negotiate a nuclear deal between the U.S. and Iran. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Moscow was involved in the 2015 Iran deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. The agreement lifted sanctions on Iran in exchange for limits on Iran\u2019s nuclear program, but Trump withdrew from the deal in 2018.<\/p>\n
On Saturday, the U.S. launched strikes late Saturday targeting key Iranian nuclear facilities: Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan. The mission involved more than 125 U.S. aircraft, including B-2 stealth bombers, according to Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Trump also touted the success of a guided-missile nuclear submarine involved in the strikes, which launched more than two dozen Tomahawk cruise missiles at key Iranian targets. <\/p>\n
‘By the way, if anyone thinks our \u2018hardware\u2019 was great over the weekend, far and away the strongest and best equipment we have, 20 years advanced over the pack, is our Nuclear Submarines,’ Trump said Monday in the Truth Social post. ‘They are the most powerful and lethal weapons ever built, and just launched the 30 Tomahawks \u2014 All 30 hit their mark perfectly. So, in addition to our Great Fighter Pilots, thank you to the Captain and Crew!’<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
