Did Medvedev really say the 'N word'...: Trump slams 'boss' Putin's aide over nuclear threats to help Iran

US President Donald Trump on Monday strongly criticised recent remarks by former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, who suggested on social media that several countries are ready to supply Iran with nuclear warheads following US airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump said that the word nuclear should not be treated so casually.

“Did I hear Former President Medvedev, from Russia, casually throwing around the ‘N word’ (Nuclear!), and saying that he and other Countries would supply Nuclear Warheads to Iran? Did he really say that or, is it just a figment of my imagination? If he did say that, and, if confirmed, please let me know, IMMEDIATELY,” he wrote.


He added, “The ‘N word’ should not be treated so casually. I guess that’s why Putin’s ‘THE BOSS.’”



Trump’s comments come after Medvedev posted a series of messages on X (formerly Twitter), responding to the recent U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear targets.

While U.S. officials claim the strikes were aimed at halting Iran’s nuclear progress, Medvedev dismissed their impact, and said, “The enrichment of nuclear material — and, now we can say it outright, the future production of nuclear weapons — will continue. A number of countries are ready to directly supply Iran with their own nuclear warheads.”

Trump, who authorized the precision strikes over the weekend, praised U.S. military capabilities. “By the way, if anyone thinks our ‘hardware’ was great over the weekend… our Nuclear Submarines… are the most powerful and lethal weapons ever built, and just launched the 30 Tomahawks — All 30 hit their mark perfectly,” he said.

He also thanked U.S. fighter pilots and submarine crews for their role in the operation.

The former Russian president also targeted Trump directly, writing, “Donald Trump, once hailed as ‘president of peace,’ has now pushed the US into another war… At this rate, Trump can forget about the Nobel Peace Prize — not even with how rigged it has become.”

While U.S. defence officials claimed the weekend strikes targeted three key nuclear sites, analysts and international monitors reported only limited damage.

Critical parts of Iran’s nuclear fuel cycle appeared largely intact, with Medvedev mocking the effort as symbolic and politically ineffective.
