Trump warns China and Russia against arming Iran amid ongoing regional war and repression

Summary

US President Donald Trump has warned China and Russia it would be 'very bad' for them if they supply weapons to Iran, claiming both leaders assured him they would not participate. This comes amid an ongoing war between the US, Israel, and Iran, with regional spillover into Yemen and Lebanon. Iran has reportedly executed over 100 people since the war began, while a Saudi-led coalition has conducted strikes in Yemen following Houthi blockades in the Red Sea. Peace talks are underway in Geneva, but ceasefire efforts have faltered. Both sources confirm Trump’s warning but differ in scope: Daily Mail emphasizes diplomatic assurances and internal repression, while Sky News situates the warning within broader military developments.
