"Russia will not give nuclear weapons to Iran"
“I heard former Russian President Medvedev use the N-word casually, saying that he and other countries were going to supply Iran with nuclear warheads? Did he really say that or is it just a figment of my imagination? If he did say that, and if it is confirmed, please tell me immediately. The N-word should not be taken lightly,” Trump warned. The US leader also highlighted the role of US nuclear submarines in the attack on Iran, saying they are “20 years more advanced” than other submarine fleets .
In his response to Trump, Medvedev said that they should not be arguing about who has more nuclear weapons , especially since, he explained, “the new Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, which I signed with a US President, is still in force for now.” “The question is: what comes next?” concluded the former Russian president.
Dmitry Medvedev was President of Russia from 2008 to 2012 and signed a treaty with former US President Barack Obama, also known as New START , which aimed to reduce and limit the number of nuclear weapons between the two countries. However, in 2023, current Russian President Vladimir Putin suspended this agreement .
Israel launched an offensive on Iran on June 13, arguing that the advancement of Iran's nuclear program and the manufacture of ballistic missiles by Tehran pose a direct threat to its security.
Since then, Israeli aircraft have struck a range of strategic infrastructure, including air defense systems, ballistic missile storage facilities and the nuclear power plants of Natanz, Isfahan and Fordo, and have also eliminated Revolutionary Guard commanders, intelligence chiefs and scientists linked to Iran's nuclear program.

Authorities in the Islamic Republic have indicated that the bombings have already left at least 400 dead and 3,056 injured, while the Israeli government reported that missiles launched by Iran in retaliation caused the death of 24 people and injuries to 1,272, in Israeli territory.
On Saturday, the conflict took on a new dimension with the entry of the United States into the war, bombing the three main facilities involved in Iran's nuclear program, including the Fordo unit, with a 60% uranium enrichment capacity, according to experts, and with Trump threatening the theocratic regime in Tehran with more attacks if "peace does not come quickly".
The US operation that devastated Iran's nuclear program was the result of months of preparation and did not target Iran's military or civilian population.
