Donald Trump has issued a sharp warning to China and Russia over Iran, saying it would be "very bad" for both countries if they supplied Tehran with weapons. The message was aimed directly at Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
According to the remarks, Trump argued that helping arm Iran would not be in Beijing's or Moscow's interests. His statement framed any military support for Iran as a move that could carry serious consequences for both powers.
The warning stands out because it links two of Washington's main rivals to the Iran issue in a single message. By naming both Xi and Putin, Trump signaled that the United States is watching closely for any sign that China or Russia could deepen military backing for Tehran.
While no further details were provided in the available report, the statement underscores rising tensions around Iran and the wider role of major powers in the region. Trump's comments place added focus on whether China or Russia might become more directly involved through military assistance.
