Amid the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, the former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev claimed that a number of countries are now prepared to supply Iran with nuclear warheads after the recent American airstrikes on the Iranian nuclear facilities. Medvedev, in a post on X, said that the US operation targeting the sites in Isfahan, Natanz, and Fordow had not only failed to achieve the objective but predicted the opposite result. 

"What have the Americans accomplished with their nighttime strikes on three nuclear sites in Iran?" Medvedev asked, referring to the US airstrikes on Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan in a post on X. 

He also claimed that the "critical infrastructure of the nuclear fuel cycle appears to have been unaffected or sustained only minor damage", adding that "enrichment of nuclear material – and, now we can say it outright, the future production of nuclear weapons – will continue".

He also said that a number of countries are ready to directly supply Iran with their own nuclear warheads. However, he did not name them.

Ridiculing the United States, he said that it has become entangled in a new conflict with the prospects of a ground operation looming on the horizon.

"Israel is under attack, explosions are rocking the country, and people are panicking," he wrote.

Earlier, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said in a press conference that he would travel to Moscow to hold talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin. 

"I'm going to Moscow this afternoon," Araghchi told Russian media and added that he had serious consultations with each other and coordinated our positions.
