US President Donald Trump said he does not believe China and Russia are providing substantial support to Iran amid ongoing tensions in the region.
According to Trump, even if such support exists, it involves only a very low level of engagement. He stressed that he generally does not believe the narrative of coordinated assistance to Tehran from either Beijing or Moscow.
Trump did not specify what evidence led him to that conclusion, saying only that both countries have a lot to lose and that any involvement on their part would become known quickly enough.
The remarks came as Washington continues to monitor Iran's regional activity. US officials periodically comment on the possible role of other major powers in unfolding events, though Trump's assessment has not been independently confirmed.
