Russia’s Medvedev says some nations may arm Iran, Trump warns against casual use of “n word”

Medvedev had posted on Telegram, saying he believes Iran will continue its nuclear program after the U.S. airstrikes on June 22.

“What did the Americans gain from their night strike on three targets in Iran? The key parts of Iran’s nuclear program were likely not damaged or only slightly damaged,” Medvedev wrote.

He also claimed that Trump, who came into office as a “peacemaker,” had now started a new war for the U.S. Medvedev added that some countries are ready to give their nuclear weapons directly to Iran.

The U.S. President responded on TruthSocial to comments made by former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev.

"Did I hear Former President Medvedev, from Russia, casually throwing around the “N word” (Nuclear!), and saying that he and other Countries would supply Nuclear Warheads to Iran? Did he really say that or, is it just a figment of my imagination? If he did say that, and, if confirmed, please let me know, IMMEDIATELY. The “N word” should not be treated so casually," Trump said.

He also added, “I guess that’s why Putin’s ‘THE BOSS.’”

Later, Medvedev posted on social media platform X, criticizing the U.S. strike on Iran, saying it “failed to achieve its objectives.”

He said Russia would not give nuclear weapons to Iran because it follows the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, unlike Israel. However, he claimed other countries might do so — and that’s what he was referring to.

U.S. strikes on Iran

On June 20, Donald Trump gave Iran’s ruling elite "two weeks" to abandon its nuclear program. Until then, the U.S. reportedly would not enter into war against the Islamic Republic of Iran on Israel’s side.

On the night of June 22, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump announced airstrikes on three nuclear facilities in Iran. According to him, the American military hit sites in Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan.

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei stated that the country had witnessed a "betrayal of diplomacy" by the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump. He assured that Tehran would exercise its right to self-defense.

Meanwhile, U.S. Vice President JD Vance stated that the U.S. is at war with Iran’s nuclear program, which has now been "significantly pushed back."

Later, Donald Trump commented on the potential for regime change in Iran, saying that if the regime cannot "make the country great," then change is necessary.
