Medvedev completely rejected the possibility of transferring nuclear weapons to Iran

This is the aftermath of being taken to the woodshed...

[Regnum] Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev, in response to the concerns of US President Donald Trump, who suggested the possibility of transferring nuclear weapons to Iran, said that Russia does not intend to do so.
Good. That would have been really, really dumb. Because they consider you infidels in need of conquering, too, and there is no guarantee that feeding that particular alligator would get you eaten last.
Medvedev wrote about this in English on the X social network, commenting on criticism of him from the head of the White House.

"As for President Trump's concerns: I condemn the US strike on Iran - it did not achieve its goals.
Apparently it did… or at least pushed the deadline considerably further off.
However, Russia does not intend to supply nuclear weapons to Iran because, unlike Israel, we are parties to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty," Medvedev wrote.
*Snicker* Like you, Israel was not going to supply Iran with nukes. So nice to see you both in agreement on the subject.
He indicated that he was well aware of what such a move could lead to, since he also controlled Russia's nuclear forces when he was president. At the same time, Medvedev warned that other countries could make deliveries.

In addition, Medvedev recalled that the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START), which he signed with the 44th US President Barack Obama, is still in effect.

#1 Medvedev warned that other countries could make deliveries.

"3. A number of countries are ready to directly supply Iran with their own nuclear warheads."

'A number of countries' does not exclude Russia.

In addition, Medvedev recalled that the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START), which he signed with the 44th US President Barack Obama, is still in effect.

Putin suspended New START in 2023.

#2 So, what he's talking about is Pakistan or North Korea.

#5 Norks or China? They really want Japan or South Korea to have them? Russia? They want Poland to get some? Very badly played game.

#6 Or the Iranians can simply hire one of the nations listed (other than Israel) to process uranium for them and take delivery at some point in future.
