US President Donald Trump says Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin have assured him that China and Russia will not supply weapons to Iran. Trump states that Xi made the assurance during a recent meeting in Beijing, adding that neither the Chinese government nor its defense companies would provide military equipment to the Islamic Republic of Iran. He also claims Putin gave a similar assurance.
Trump warns that if China or Russia supports Iran amid the escalating US-Iran conflict, there will be “serious consequences.” The statements are framed as direct assurances from the two leaders, with Trump expressing trust in their commitments.
The claims reflect ongoing tensions involving the United States and Iran, and they position China and Russia as key external actors whose potential arms support could affect the conflict. No independent verification or further details about enforcement mechanisms are provided in the reports.
