Trump has a verbal showdown with Medvedev: Don't always talk about "nuclear" and "non-nuclear"

"Am I hearing former Russian president Medvedev constantly using that N-word and saying he or other countries would provide nuclear warheads to Iran? Or am I hallucinating?" In response to Medvedev's previous statement about "multiple countries preparing to provide nuclear warheads to Iran," US President Trump posted on June 23rd. Trump also cleverly noted that the "N-word" he mentioned referred to "nuclear," not another racial slur against Black people in English.

On June 22nd, Medvedev posted a series of messages on the social platform "X," supporting Iran and strongly questioning the actions of Israel and the United States. He concluded that because "the majority of countries in the world oppose the actions of Israel and the United States," President Trump "can forget about the Nobel Peace Prize," as he "has now pushed the United States into another war."

But in these posts, Medvedev stated that some countries were already ready to directly provide their own nuclear warheads to Iran. This statement shocked many foreign netizens. Especially considering that Iranian Foreign Minister Alaghezi was visiting Russia recently, Medvedev's statement made people "think of all sorts of things."

One day later, Trump also responded to Medvedev's comments. Apart from doubting whether Medvedev's statements were his hallucination and stating that "nuclear" should not be a word casually used, Trump switched to "praise mode," boasting about the strength of the US navy and air force.

On the same day as Trump's post, Medvedev quickly responded. He emphasized: "Russia will not provide nuclear weapons to Iran, because unlike Israel, we are a party to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty." However, Medvedev then turned his tone, stating: "But other countries might (provide nuclear weapons to Iran), which is what I meant earlier."

Medvedev also urged the United States not to "argue about who has more nuclear weapons," and emphasized that the new version of the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty signed between Russia and the US during his presidency was still valid.

"The question is: What will happen next?" He concluded.
