Trump Disputes Medvedev's Iran Nuclear Claim
Former President Donald Trump has launched a sharp rebuke against Dmitry Medvedev, the former Russian President, over his claims regarding Iran's nuclear capabilities. Medvedev suggested that several countries are willing to supply Iran with nuclear warheads following reported U.S. military actions against Iranian nuclear sites.
Trump's Response on Truth Social
Trump responded to Medvedev's statements on his social media platform, Truth Social, questioning the veracity of the claims. He emphasized the formidable strength of the United States' nuclear arsenal, particularly highlighting the advanced capabilities of U.S. nuclear submarines. Trump stated that the "N word" – Nuclear – should not be treated casually.
Medvedev's Initial Remarks
Medvedev's original comments downplayed the impact of the U.S. strikes on Iran's nuclear infrastructure. He asserted that Iran's nuclear program would continue and that several nations were prepared to provide Iran with nuclear warheads.
International Atomic Energy Agency's Assessment
Adding another layer to the situation, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reported that it had detected no increase in off-site radiation levels following the reported U.S. strikes, seemingly contradicting claims that Iran's nuclear ambitions have been completely obliterated.
Putin's Condemnation
Russian President Vladimir Putin has also weighed in, condemning the U.S. military action as "absolutely unprovoked aggression".
