Senior Russian Official Reveals Countries Are Ready to Supply Iran With Nuclear Warheads

Former Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev warned the United States via social media that a number of countries are now prepared to arm Iran with their nuclear warheads following the Saturday bombing of nuclear facilities.

President Donald Trump announced via Truth Social Saturday evening that U.S. military forces had successfully bombed three Iranian nuclear facilities, following multiple reports that Iran was close to developing a nuclear bomb. Given the Iranian support of numerous anti-Israeli terrorist organizations and the regime’s repeated position that Israel should not exist, this was seen as a dire situation that called for immediate remedy — or at least, that is the position of the Trump administration.

Medvedev, who now serves as Deputy Chair of the Security Council of the Russian Federation under President Vladimir Putin, took to X to ostensibly reveal what he sees as the results and consequences of the US attack on Iran, which is primarily supported militarily by Russia.

In a 10-part thread (cited below via Thread Reader), Medvedev laid out why this conflict could easily escalate beyond a preemptive attack designed to disarm Iran of nuclear capabilities.

“What have the Americans accomplished with their nighttime strikes on three nuclear sites in Iran?” Medvedev asked rhetorically, before answering his own question:

1. Critical infrastructure of the nuclear fuel cycle appears to have been unaffected or sustained only minor damage.
2. The enrichment of nuclear material — and, now we can say it outright, the future production of nuclear weapons — will continue.
3. A number of countries are ready to directly supply Iran with their own nuclear warheads.
4. Israel is under attack, explosions are rocking the country, and people are panicking.
5. The US is now entangled in a new conflict, with prospects of a ground operation looming on the horizon.
6. Iran’s political regime has survived — and in all likelihood, has come out even stronger.
7. The people are rallying around the country’s spiritual leadership, including those who were previously indifferent or opposed to it.
8. Donald Trump, once hailed as ‘president of peace,’ has now pushed the US into another war.
9. The vast majority of countries around the world oppose the actions of Israel and the United States.
10. At this rate, Trump can forget about the Nobel Peace Prize — not even with how rigged it has become. What a way to kick things off, Mr. President. Congratulations!

Medvedev’s objective appears to be clear: dismiss any US claims of a successful mission and not-so-veiled threats that Iran and Russia will not take this attack without response. Russia is, of course, in possession of nuclear warheads — which, if provided to Iran, could easily lead to a full-scale escalation and nuclear war, if these threats are to be taken seriously.
