🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump DOWNPLAYS the idea that China and Russia are helping Iran... despite reports they've fed Tehran intelligence on U.S. forces
"If they are, it's at a very low level, but I don't believe they are at all.
They have too much to lose, and we would know about it, and know about it very fast!"
Part of that holds, since neither country has openly joined the war and both have plenty to lose with Washington.
The reporting does get murkier around the edges though...
People briefed on U.S. intel claim Iran has used satellite imagery from Chinese companies to better target American bases, Chinese firms have paid Iran fees to move ships through Hormuz, and Russia has armed Iran for YEARS and is now carrying its peace terms to the White House.
And that’s just a SMALL slice of the reporting since the conflict started... we won’t even get into the drones.
Calling out Moscow now would torch the diesel deal and the Iran back channel in one shot, so expect a bit of tact from Washington until the evidence gets too big to bury.

@MarioNawfal Trump dismissing China/Russia help to Iran may be strategic, but if true it signals dangerous escalation, and skepticism should not replace verification; His point of view is also worth considering. @Robert197071
