U.S. President Donald Trump has issued a strong warning, threatening to deploy America’s “most lethal weapons ever built” if Russia supplies nuclear weapons to Iran.
Trump made this statement during a national address following U.S. airstrikes on key Iranian nuclear facilities, including Natanz, Fordow, and Isfahan.
The strikes, which took place over the weekend, were aimed at dismantling Iran’s ability to develop nuclear weapons.
The former president referred to recent comments by former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, who suggested that Moscow could consider providing nuclear capabilities to Iran in response to Western actions in the Middle East.
“If Russia dares to transfer nuclear weapons to Iran, the consequences will be unlike anything the world has ever seen.
“We will unleash the most lethal weapons ever built in defence of global peace,” Trump said.
He added that the United States will not stand by while hostile powers share dangerous technology that could destabilise the world.
Trump also warned that further military action would follow if Iran did not step back from nuclear ambitions and seek peace.
The statement has drawn international attention, raising concerns about a new phase of military escalation involving major global powers.
