Details: Medvedev believes that Trump has issued a "theatrical ultimatum" to the Kremlin.

"The world shuddered, awaiting the consequences. Militant Europe was disappointed. Russia was indifferent," he wrote.

Prior to this, in June, Medvedev was criticised by Trump, who expressed dissatisfaction with a comment about nuclear weapons in Iran. There, Trump said, "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?"

In response, Medvedev began to justify himself, saying that he condemns the US strike on Iran, but Russia does not intend to supply nuclear weapons to Iran.
