President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to assuage concerns over Iran receiving help from Russia and China.
In a late-night Monday post, the president claimed that the “radical left” is wrong to think that Iran is receiving meaningful assistance from America’s adversaries. He also reminded people that both countries stand to lose a lot by aligning themselves with the Middle Eastern country.
Look:
I see so many comments from the Radical Left Morons and Lunatics that China and Russia are helping the “wonderful” Islamic Republic of Iran. 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! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP

The speculation comes amid reports that “Russian President Vladimir Putin has told Donald Trump about Iran’s position on a possible Mideast peace deal.”
According to AFP, the Kremlin “said Tehran’s stance was relayed in a phone call held between the two leaders on Friday. It did not say how Trump responded, nor elaborate on Iran’s position.” Also worth noting, the article reports that “Putin met Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on the sidelines of a summit in Turkmenistan earlier this week, where the Russian leader expressed an interest in helping broker peace.”
On Friday, the president revealed that a “highly successful discussion” resulted in the decision to purchase diesel fuel from Russia despite existing sanctions. It is hoped that this purchase will help lower the skyrocketing prices that are putting strain on trucking companies and other businesses.
Trump made the announcement on Truth Social last week:
I have just concluded a highly successful discussion with President Vladimir Putin, of Russia, wherein it was agreed that Russia will immediately supply over 300,000 Tons of Diesel Fuel to the American and Global Marketplace, another 500,000 Tons during the month of November, and 1,000,000 Tons immediately thereafter. Additionally, based on the condition of their Diesel Refineries, Russia will then deliver, within a short period of time, 3,000,000 Tons of Diesel Fuel. Between our TOTAL CONTROL of the Strait of Hormuz, and this great announcement on Russian Energy, Diesel Prices for Americans and, indeed, the World, will be COMING DOWN, IN RECORD NUMBERS, AND FAST! Lower prices for Americans, especially our Great Farmers, Ranchers, and Truckers, is my Greatest Priority. This is a very big and important announcement. Additionally, it must be understood, that Iran will not have a Nuclear Weapon! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP
