In a recent online clash, former U. S. President Donald Trump took aim at Russian official Dmitry Medvedev over claims about Iran's nuclear capabilities. Medvedev, who serves as Russia's Security Council deputy chairman, suggested that several countries might supply Iran with nuclear warheads following U. S. strikes on Iranian nuclear sites.

Trump, known for his blunt style, questioned the validity of Medvedev's statement, asking if it was real or just a product of his imagination. He emphasized that the word "nuclear" should not be used lightly, yet he couldn't resist boasting about the U. S. 's advanced nuclear submarines, calling them the most powerful weapons ever created.

This exchange came after Medvedev criticized the U. S. strikes on social media, downplaying their impact on Iran. While Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth claimed the attacks had destroyed Iran's nuclear ambitions, the International Atomic Energy Agency reported no significant increase in radiation levels, suggesting the strikes may not have been as devastating as claimed.

The back-and-forth highlights the ongoing tensions between the U. S. and Russia, with both sides flexing their military muscles. It also raises questions about the effectiveness of the U. S. strikes and the true state of Iran's nuclear program.

As the world watches, the situation remains tense, with both sides trading barbs and showcasing their military might. The use of social media as a platform for such high-stakes discussions adds a new layer of complexity to international diplomacy.
