Trump says China, Russia are not supplying weapons to Iran

US President Donald Trump said China and Russia are not supplying weapons to Iran, citing assurances he said he received from Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“President Xi, at our recent meeting in Beijing, China, told me that he would not, under any circumstances, give or sell Weapons to the Islamic Republic of Iran — And that statement included Chinese Companies,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, Caliber.Az reports.

Trump also said Putin had given him a similar assurance despite the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.

“Likewise, President Putin, despite the horrible War going on in Ukraine [The relationship remains, as it does with President Zelenskyy], told me that he would not sell Weapons to Iran,” Trump wrote.

He added that both China and Russia would face serious consequences if they supplied weapons to Iran.

“Therefore, two major Countries that people speak of often in terms of Iran are, in my opinion, not participating. If they did, it would be very bad for them — Certainly not in their best interests,” Trump said.
