Russia's Dmitry Medvedev takes part in a wreath-laying ceremony marking Defender of the Fatherland Day at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier by the Kremlin Wall in Moscow, Russia, February 23, 2024.
"The enrichment of nuclear material — and, now we can say it outright, the future production of nuclear weapons — will continue," Medvedev said in a Sunday X post.
"A number of countries are ready to directly supply Iran with their own nuclear warheads," Medvedev said.
He did not specify which countries could be involved in providing Iran with nuclear capabilities, but Russia historically has supported Iran's nuclear program. Last week, Russian President Vladimir Putin also offered to broker peace talks between Iran and Israel.
Likewise, Moscow has also offered to intervene and help negotiate a nuclear deal between the U.S. and Iran.

Trump also touted the success of a guided-missile nuclear submarine involved in the strikes, which launched more than two dozen Tomahawk cruise missiles at key Iranian targets.
"By the way, if anyone thinks our ‘hardware’ was great over the weekend, far and away the strongest and best equipment we have, 20 years advanced over the pack, is our Nuclear Submarines," Trump said Monday in the Truth Social post. "They are the most powerful and lethal weapons ever built, and just launched the 30 Tomahawks — All 30 hit their mark perfectly. So, in addition to our Great Fighter Pilots, thank you to the Captain and Crew!"
