U.S. President Donald Trump says he does not believe China or Russia are currently “participating” in the ongoing conflict involving Iran, but he warns that any involvement would be harmful. In a statement posted on Truth Social, Trump says he told he expects both countries to refrain from providing arms to Iran. He says China’s President Xi Jinping assured him during a recent meeting in Beijing that China would not, under any circumstances, give or sell weapons to the Islamic Republic of Iran, adding that this pledge also covers Chinese companies. Trump also asserts that it would not be in the interests of Beijing or Moscow to supply weapons to Tehran. Another outlet reports that Trump says both Xi and Russian President Vladimir Putin have given assurances to him that China and Russia will not sell weapons to Iran. The statements frame the warnings as a deterrent against possible escalation or external arms transfers tied to the conflict.
