Trump says Xi and Putin will not sell weapons to Iran, signaling pressure on Tehran's rearmament

President Donald Trump made multiple posts on Truth Social in the last hour: - "President Xi, at our recent meeting in Beijing, China, told me that he would not, under any circumstances, give or sell Weapons to the Islamic Republic of Iran, And that statement included Chinese Companies. Considering our relationship, I take him at his word and, besides, l am doing him very big favors, also.

Likewise, President Putin, despite the horrible War going on in Ukraine (The relationship remains, as it does with President Zelenskyy), told me that he would not sell Weapons to Iran. He understands that I do not sell Weapons to Ukraine, but to NATO Countries.

They pay full price, and how those Weapons are distributed, I have no idea. Therefore, two major Countries that people speak of often in terms of Iran are, in my opinion, not participating.

If they did, it would be very bad for them, Certainly not in their best interests. Thank you for your attention to this matter!" - "Rick Jackson, from the Great State of Georgia, very successfully campaigned for Governor, on being strong with "TRUMP, " and won, against a field of very talented and popular opponents, including an incredible guy, Burt Jones, who has a truly bright future ahead of him!

These damages may be very substantial but, nevertheless, this is the fair and equitable thing to do.

Thank you for your attention to this matter!" - "A year ago the United States of America attacked, very powerfully, the Houthis, for their interference with commerce and trade, by shooting at ships. Since that time, and during our conflict with Iran, they have acted very responsibly.

Unfortunately, now they are starting up again, shooting at two Saudi Arabian ships last night. Please let this TRUTH serve to represent that if they do this again, the U.

S. will hold Iran responsible, in that the Houthis are a Surrogate and/or Proxy of Iran, and major military punishment will be inflicted upon Iran and, of course, the Houthis, themselves, who I am very disappointed with in that they have, until now, acted very professionally and smart. Thank you for your attention to this matter!" - "The Civil Nuclear Deal (There will be no enrichment of material!) being made between the United States Department of Energy and Saudi Arabia, which pertains only to non-military use such as the ones that Iran and UAE (and others) already have, will be approved, but is totally subject to Saudi Arabia joining the very respected and successful Abraham Accords.

The United States is not opposed to Civil (Non-Enriched) Nuclear Facilities. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"

Explanation:

President Donald Trump made multiple posts on Truth Social in the last hour: - "President Xi, at our recent meeting in Beijing, China, told me that he would not, under any circumstances, give or sell Weapons to the Islamic Republic of Iran, And that statement included Chinese Companies.

Considering our relationship, I take him at his word and, besides, l am doing him very big favors, also. Likewise, President Putin, despite the horrible War going on in Ukraine (The relationship remains, as it does with President Zelenskyy), told me that he would not sell Weapons to Iran.

He understands that I do not sell Weapons to Ukraine, but to NATO Countries. They pay full price, and how those Weapons are distributed, I have no idea.

Therefore, two major Countries that people speak of often in terms of Iran are, in my opinion, not participating. If they did, it would be very bad for them, Certainly not in their best interests.

Thank you for your attention to this matter!" This is a direct public signal that Trump is claiming private assurances from both China and Russia that they will not arm Iran, and that he views those assurances as part of a broader leverage relationship. The immediate policy read is deterrence, he is warning Tehran that two major potential suppliers are, in his view, off the table, which could affect Iranian rearmament calculations, regional threat perceptions, and market attention to Gulf security risks.

The language also implies Trump is tying U.S. policy toward Ukraine and NATO weapons sales into the same geopolitical bargaining frame, suggesting he sees arms flows as an instrument of personal-state leverage rather than a purely transactional policy issue. Historically, Iran has repeatedly sought weapons and dual-use support through external partners as U.S. sanctions and export controls tightened after the U.S. withdrew from the JCPOA in 2018 and reimposed maximum pressure.

China and Russia have both been central to broader concerns about sanctions evasion, drone and missile cooperation, and battlefield support dynamics involving Iran and its proxies. If Trump is accurately reflecting private commitments, the message could reduce expectations of near-term great-power backing for Iranian military procurement, but if the claim is overstated or denied, it could raise diplomatic friction and underscore how intertwined Iran policy, Russia-Ukraine war politics, and U.S.-China competition have become.
