US President Donald Trump said he does not believe China or Russia is directly involved in the ongoing Iran crisis, but warned that it would be very bad for them if they became involved. The remarks were reported on July 24, following a post Trump made on Truth Social on Friday.

Trump said Chinese President Xi Jinping had assured him during a recent meeting in Beijing that China and Chinese companies would not provide or sell weapons to the Islamic Republic of Iran under any circumstances. The report did not provide further details about the meeting or the broader Iran crisis.

According to Trump, supplying weapons to Iran would not serve the interests of either Beijing or Moscow. He said that if China and Russia provide military assistance to Tehran, the consequences could also be negative for them. No additional details were given about possible actions or consequences.
