US President Donald Trump ordered a wave of airstrikes that destroyed Iran’s nuclear sites. Following US airstrikes, Russia is now raising alarms, implying that countries such as itself and Pakistan could openly supply Iran with nuclear weapons. Meanwhile, Iran vowed to recover quickly and retaliate.

Will Russia and Pakistan supply nukes to Iran?

Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev stated on Sunday that “several nations” could directly supply Iran with nuclear weapons. General Dan Caine stated at a Pentagon press conference on Sunday that evaluating the damage at the locations will require time; nevertheless, a preliminary assessment suggests that all three installations experienced “severe damage and destruction.”

He disclosed that the operation encompassed 75 precision-guided missiles, comprising 14 GBU-57 bunker-busters.

Israeli and American officials have reported significant damage at Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan, although Iranian and Russian officials have claimed very modest damage to Iran’s nuclear enrichment capability. Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said, raising doubts about what the Americans achieved with their nighttime strikes on three nuclear sites in Iran. “The enrichment of nuclear material and future production of nuclear weapons will continue,” he stated, as per a report by UPI.

Despite Israel’s seeming efforts to overthrow the current regime, he added, Iran’s political leadership has endured and may have even “come out even stronger.” “A number of countries are ready to directly supply Iran with their own nuclear warheads.”

Pakistan, Iran’s ally, has denounced the U.S. attack on Iran, claiming that the continuous aggression against Iran is to blame for the unprecedented rise in tension and violence.

The strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities was denounced by the Russian Foreign Ministry as a breach of both international law and the United Nations charter. In a similar vein, China’s Foreign Ministry said that the United States had breached international law and the U.N. charter by urging Israel to achieve a truce “as soon as possible.”

A U.N. Security Council emergency meeting has been called by Sa’eed Iravani, Iran’s ambassador and permanent representative to the UN in New York.

Did Iran evacuate its nuclear materials in time?

Meanwhile, Tehran insists that its critical materials were evacuated beforehand, and tensions in the Middle East remain high.

According to satellite photos, Iran relocated everything from the Fordow plant to a secure place 48 hours prior to the US attack, according to a Telegram account connected to the Iran Revolutionary Guard Corps.
