Fox News Politics Newsletter: Trump slams Russia’s threat to arm Iran with nukes
President Donald Trump has condemned former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev for suggesting that other countries would supply Iran with nuclear warheads as retaliation for US strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. Trump expressed disbelief at the casual mention of nuclear weapons and questioned Medvedev’s comments in a Truth Social post.
Medvedev, who currently serves as the deputy chairman of the Security Council of Russia, stated that Iran would continue to advance its nuclear program with assistance from other nations. Trump’s reaction comes amidst escalating tensions between the US and Iran following the strikes on Iranian nuclear sites.
In response to the situation, the White House has called for agencies to apply ‘gold standard science’ to depoliticize research and restore trust. Trump is set to attend the upcoming NATO summit in The Hague to discuss issues such as spending, Ukraine, and Iran with other world leaders.
Satellite images have captured the damage caused by US strikes on Iran’s Natanz and Isfahan nuclear facilities. Americans in Qatar have been ordered to shelter in place following a missile attack on a US base in the region. Former FBI agents have warned of potential lone wolf threats and cyberattacks in the aftermath of the Iranian airstrikes.
Meanwhile, discussions about potential successors to Iranian Supreme Leader Khamenei are underway, as Iran retaliates against US actions. The Trump campaign has launched a campaign against a GOP congressman who questioned the president’s authority to strike Iran.
In Capitol Hill, Senate GOP aims to approve major legislation next week, while House Republicans target vulnerable Democrats for voting against tax cuts. The political landscape is further complicated by endorsements in the NYC mayoral race and calls for increased vigilance in the wake of the Iran crisis.
