President Donald Trump says he does not believe that China and Russia are helping Iran in its conflict with the United States. In comments posted late Monday on Truth Social, he said any such support would be minimal and that he ultimately doubts it is happening.
Trump argues that Moscow and Beijing would have “too much to lose” by enabling Tehran, adding that the United States would “know about it” quickly if it occurred. Multiple outlets report the same rationale and quotation, with Reuters and Bloomberg describing the statement as a dismissal of concerns raised by Trump’s critics.
One outlet also notes that Trump previously expressed similar views in July, warning that any support for Iran would be “very bad” for China and Russia. Overall coverage focuses on Trump’s rejection of claims about Chinese and Russian assistance to Iran, rather than providing new evidence from any government or intelligence sources.
