Trump Trusts Putin and Xi on Iran, Contradicts Defense Secretary

President Trump stated he trusts both Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin's assurances that they will not sell weapons to Iran.
He contradicted his defense secretary's assessment that Russia and China are enabling Iran, insisting they are not involved in the conflict.
Despite Trump's claims, both countries have historically provided significant support to Iran, including logistical and intelligence assistance.
Tensions continue to rise as the U.S. intensifies military actions against Iranian infrastructure.
