US President Donald Trump stated that he does not believe China and Russia are aiding Iran, warning that both nations have "a lot to lose" if they decide to provide support to Tehran. Trump noted on his social media platform that he is monitoring claims of potential involvement, asserting that he would quickly detect any such actions. Last July, the President warned of severe repercussions if Beijing or Moscow were to intervene in the conflict, despite previously describing their leaders as neutral. Both Russia and China maintain close ties with Iran; China has denounced US attacks on Iranian soil, while Russia has voiced concerns over a potential nuclear arms race in the Middle East. Reports also suggest that Washington had previously received assurances from Chinese officials regarding their lack of involvement.
