Trump Sends Furious Response to Putin Ally’s Nuclear Threat: ‘Did He Really Say That?’
Former Russian President dmitry Medvedev, currently serving as the deputy chairman of the Security Council of Russia, made controversial remarks suggesting that several countries could supply iran with nuclear warheads. In response, former U.S. President Donald Trump expressed alarm over Medvedev’s statements, questioning whether they were genuinely uttered and emphasizing the seriousness of discussing nuclear weapons casually. Trump’s response included a defense of the U.S. military’s capabilities,highlighting the strength of American nuclear submarines.
Medvedev’s comments came amid escalating tensions between Israel and Iran, following recent missile attacks from Iran and a U.S. strike that damaged Iranian nuclear facilities. Even though he asserted that the potential for Iran to produce nuclear weapons was real, experts have pointed out that transferring nuclear arms is complex and not as straightforward as Medvedev suggested. Analysts noted that only a few nations would consider assisting Iran with nuclear weapons, recognizing the meaningful risks involved for those nations.
President Donald Trump came down hard Monday on a top ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, who said multiple nations could give Iran a nuclear warhead.
Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, who is the deputy chairman of the Security Council of Russia, said, “A number of countries are ready to directly supply Iran with their own nuclear warheads,” according to Newsweek.
“Did I hear Former President Medvedev, from Russia, casually throwing around the ‘N word’ (Nuclear!), and saying that he and other Countries would supply Nuclear Warheads to Iran?” Trump posted on .
“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 ‘N word’ should not be treated so casually.”

Trump then touched on America’s military prowess.
“I guess that’s why Putin’s ‘THE BOSS.’ By the way, if anyone thinks our ‘hardware’ 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. They are the most powerful and lethal weapons ever built, and just launched the 30 Tomahawks — All 30 hit their mark perfectly. So, in addition to our Great Fighter Pilots, thank you to the Captain and Crew!” Trump wrote.
Medvedev posted his comments on as he made claims about the conflict between Israel and Iran.
“The enrichment of nuclear material — and, now we can say it outright, the future production of nuclear weapons — will continue,” Medvedev wrote, according to Newsweek.
“Israel is under attack, explosions are rocking the country, and people are panicking,” he claimed, referring to Iranian ballistic missile attacks that took place after a U.S. strike damaged three Iranian nuclear facilities. The Times of Israel noted, no one was injured in the attacks.
Medvedev then added claims for which no verification exists, per Newsweek.
“[T]he U.S. is now entangled in a new conflict, with prospects of a ground operation looming on the horizon,” he said.
“Iran’s political regime has survived — and in all likelihood, has come out even stronger.”
Experts said sending Iran a nuclear warhead is more complicated than Medvedev made it seem, according to Business Insider.
“It’s impossible in practice because nuclear weapons are not like a bomb or just something you can carry in a suitcase,” said Pavel Podvig, a senior researcher in the United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research.
“Unless you create a nuclear program or almost a nuclear program in the country, there is no way to just give your nuclear weapons to them,” he said.
“I don’t see this being done technically.”
Adam Lowther, vice president of research at the National Institute for Deterrence Studies, said only Russia, China, and North Korea are nuclear nations that would even think of helping Iran.
He said, they all know there would be a price to pay.
He said, if Iran ever received and used another nation’s weapons, the U.S. would know.
“Then that country would be on the U.S.’ hit list,” Lowther said.
