Russia Security Council Official Says Other Nations Might Supply Iran With Nukes

A top Russian official warned Sunday that a number of foreign nations may now be prepared to directly supply Iran with nuclear warheads, following U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear infrastructure that escalated tensions across the Middle East. Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council and former president of Russia, made the explosive claim in a Telegram post, declaring that “a number of countries are ready to directly supply Iran with their own nuclear warheads.” We were in the middle of talks with the United States when Israelis blew it up,” he said, referencing an earlier Israeli air campaign that preceded the U.S. action.
