Russia Says Countries Ready To Transfer Nuclear Weapons To Iran

Russia's Deputy Security Council Chairman Dmitry Medvedev has issued a stark warning that certain countries are "ready to transfer nuclear weapons to Iran" following recent American strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. This threat marks a dramatic escalation in Middle East tensions and reveals a complete reversal from Russia's previous support of international sanctions against Iran's nuclear program.

The timing of Medvedev's statements appears calculated to deter further American military action as the Trump administration maintains that preventing Iranian nuclear weapons remains a top priority. The former Russian president questioned nuclear double standards, asking why nuclear capabilities are acceptable for some nations but not others.

Russia now stands firmly alongside China, Iran, and North Korea in a coordinated opposition to American-led containment efforts. This four-nation alignment presents unprecedented challenges for U.S. foreign policy as intelligence sources indicate no concrete evidence of imminent nuclear transfers exists.

The strikes targeted Iran's most sensitive facilities at Natanz, Isfahan, and Fordow, representing the most direct American action against Iran's nuclear program in years.
