Russian leader claims multiple countries prepped to provide Iran nuclear weapons following US strikes
The former President of Russia said that many countries are ready to provide a nuclear war title to Iran after launching strikes against the US nuclear facilities.
“The enrichment of nuclear materials – and now we can say clearly, the production of future nuclear weapons – will continue.” He said.
“A few countries are ready to supply their own nuclear war titles to Iran.” He said.
Medvedev did not list certain countries that could enter and support Iran. However, Russia historically supported Iran’s nuclear program. Russian President Vladimir Putin offered to mediate peace talks between Iran and Israel on Wednesday.
Moscow also offered to intervene and negotiate a nuclear agreement between the US and Iran.
Moscow participated in the 2015 Iran agreement, known as the Common Comprehensive Action Plan. The agreement lifted sanctions against Iran in exchange for borders on Iran’s nuclear program, but Trump withdrew from the agreement in 2018.

Medvedev’s comments came after the US launching strikes targeting Iran’s nuclear facilities late on Saturday: Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan. According to the joint Chief of General Staff Dan Caine, the task included more than 125 US aircraft, including B-2 Stealth bombers.
President Donald Trump said he had discussed whether he would strike against these sites for days.
The White House and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not immediately respond to FOX News Digital’s request for a comment on Medvedev’s statements.
Meanwhile, Russian Foreign Ministry claimed that strikes violated international law and called for “an end to aggression”.

The Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Sunday, “Exposed to missiles and bombing attacks of a sovereign state, irresponsible decision, regardless of the arguments that can be presented, international law, the United Nations Charter and the United Nations Security Council’s decisions.” He said.
Before the strikes, Iran warned that the US would suffer if the US chose to be involved in conflict, and previously published retaliation strikes against the bases in which US troops killed the best Iranian general in 2020.
