U.S. President Donald Trump said he does not believe China or Russia are taking part in the current war involving Iran. Speaking in Washington on Friday, he also warned that any move by either country to become involved would be a serious development.
Trump said Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin had indicated they would not sell weapons for the conflict. His remarks were aimed at easing fears that the fighting could draw in other major powers and become a wider international crisis.
According to the available details, the United States and Iran have been at war since strikes in February. Trump's comments suggest his administration is watching closely for any sign of outside military support that could change the course of the conflict.
The statement highlights the broader geopolitical stakes around the Iran war, with Washington focused not only on direct fighting but also on whether countries such as China and Russia stay on the sidelines. For now, Trump's position is that neither power is participating.
