Donald Trump: "it would be very bad for them"

President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that Chinese leader Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin had assured him they would not supply weapons to Iran, warning that doing so would have severe consequences for them. Trump's remarks came amid a prolonged U.S.-Iran conflict that began in late February with joint American-Israeli strikes on Iranian sites, followed by Iranian retaliation including a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. A June ceasefire agreement has since collapsed, and attacks resumed this month. U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth recently acknowledged, without specifics, that Russia and China were enabling some Iranian actions, though he declined to elaborate. Trump’s warning underscores ongoing tensions over foreign involvement in the conflict.
