U.S. President Donald Trump stated on Monday, October 12, that he does not believe China and Russia are assisting Iran, asserting that both nations have too much at stake to engage in such actions. The assertion was reported by Anadolu Agency.
Responding to claims that Beijing and Moscow are aiding Tehran, Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform, "If they are, it’s at a very low level, but I don’t believe they are at all. They have too much to lose, and we would know about it, and know about it very fast!"
Trump's remarks echo a previous Truth Social post from July, where he claimed that Chinese President had told him during a meeting in China in May that Beijing would not sell arms to Iran under any circumstances. Trump also expressed confidence that Russian President Vladimir Putin would similarly refrain from selling arms to Iran, warning at the time that any intervention would be detrimental to them.
In May, the Trump administration imposed sanctions on several Chinese companies accused of supporting Iran's military procurement network and providing satellite imagery that allegedly enabled Tehran to target U.S. troops. Beijing has denied allegations that Chinese entities have provided assistance to the Iranian military.
