President Donald Trump conveyed on Monday that he does not believe China and Russia are aiding Iran, stating their involvement would be minimal at best. In a post on Truth Social, Trump referenced criticisms and opponents suggesting China and Russia were assisting Iran. However, Trump maintained that if they were indeed providing support, the United States would become aware of it swiftly.
In July, Trump expressed trust in China and Russia not to aid Tehran in the ongoing Iran conflict, but warned that any involvement would have dire consequences for these nations. The United States and Iran have been embroiled in a war since February 28, following US and Israeli attacks on Iran, which Iran retaliated against with strikes on Israel and Gulf states hosting US military bases.
These attacks have resulted in thousands of deaths and the displacement of millions. Trump has previously characterized Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin as neutral entities during the Iran war. Moscow and Beijing remain in the spotlight amid this conflict.
