President Trump didn’t hold back against the former President of Russia earlier this week.
The 47th U.S. President slammed former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev after the former president claimed several countries are looking to supply Iran with nuclear warheads.
Trump in his Truth Social Post stated, “Did I hear Former President Medvedev, from Russia, casually throwing around the “N word” (Nuclear!), and saying that he and other Countries would supply Nuclear Warheads to Iran?”
CNBC had the full story:
President Donald Trump on Monday lashed out at former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev for claiming that multiple countries are “ready to directly supply” Iran with nuclear warheads as a result of the U.S. strikes on key Iranian nuclear sites.
ADVERTISEMENT“Did he really say that or, is it just a figment of my imagination?” Trump said of Medvedev, the deputy chairman of Russia’s security council. “If he did say that, and, if confirmed, please let me know, IMMEDIATELY,” he wrote on Truth Social.
Trump chided Medvedev that the “N word” — which he specified stood for “Nuclear” — “should not be treated so casually.” But his response included a similar bout of nuclear saber-rattling, suggesting that the president feels emboldened after ordering the bomb attacks against Iran late Saturday Eastern time.
“By the way, if anyone thinks our ‘hardware’ was great over the weekend, far and away the strongest and best equipment we have, 20 years advanced over the pack, is our Nuclear Submarines,” Trump wrote, calling them “the most powerful and lethal weapons ever built.”
Trump added, “I guess that’s why Putin’s ‘THE BOSS.’”
The post came in response to Medvedev, who preceded Vladimir Putin as president, criticizing the U.S. strikes on social media while downplaying their impact on Iran, a Russian ally.
While Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth boasted that the attacks had “obliterated” Iran’s nuclear ambitions, the International Atomic Energy Agency said Sunday morning London time that it detected “no increase in off-site radiation levels has been reported as of this time.”

Medvedev has now claimed that Russia will not supply nuclear warheads to Iran.
Per Fox News:
Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said that Moscow is not planning to supply Iran with nuclear warheads, after President Donald Trump mocked him for suggesting that other countries would step in and provide Iran with nuclear weapons after the U.S. strikes against Iranian nuclear facilities.
Medvedev, now the deputy chairman of the Security Council of Russia, originally said Sunday that Iran would continue to advance its nuclear program and would receive assistance from other nations to do so.
ADVERTISEMENTAlthough Medvedev did not specify any countries, he clarified later Monday that he was not talking about Russia.
“I condemn the U.S. strike on Iran — it failed to achieve its objectives,” Medvedev said in a Monday post on X. “However, Russia has no intention of supplying nuclear weapons to Iran because, unlike Israel, we are parties to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.”
“I know quite well what this would entail, having overseen our nuclear forces as president,” Medvedev said. “But other countries might — and that’s what was said.”
Medvedev’s statement came after Trump called him out by name in a post on Truth Social following the Russian leader’s original Sunday remarks.
