President Donald Trump asserted on Monday that he does not believe China and Russia are actively aiding Iran, stating they have "too much to lose" if they do so. Trump made these remarks on Truth Social, responding to comments from critics and opponents who claimed China and Russia were supporting Iran at a "very low level." Trump expressed confidence that the United States would swiftly detect any such involvement.
In a July statement, Trump trusted China and Russia not to assist Iran in the ongoing conflict, but warned that if they were to intervene, it would be detrimental to their interests. The United States and Iran have been embroiled in a war since February 28, following US and Israeli attacks on Iran, which prompted Tehran's retaliatory strikes on Israel and US-backed Gulf states.
Since then, the conflict has resulted in thousands of deaths and the displacement of millions. Trump has previously described Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin as "neutral" in the Iran war.
