Russia unfazed by Trump's ultimatum – 'Every threat is a step towards war'
Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev on Monday, in a post on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), warned US President Donald Trump not to play the 'ultimatum game' and not to go down the ‘Sleepy Joe road’!
Medvedev’s fiery rebuttal exemplifies Russia’s unwillingness to bow to external ultimatums, while Graham’s pointed calls reinforce a determined U.S. push for resolution through maximum pressure.
This verbal sparring reveals a dangerous interplay where diplomatic efforts, strategic threats, and public messaging intertwine. Positioning Russia distinct from other countries often compared in global sanctions contexts (such as Iran or Israel) highlights Moscow’s confidence in its strategic position.
Social Media as a New Battleground for Diplomacy and Threats
The public nature of this exchange on Twitter-type platforms underlines how modern geopolitical disputes are increasingly fought online, with messaging serving both domestic propaganda and international signaling purposes.
Graham’s threat to target Russia’s trading partners echoes a shift toward constraining Moscow’s global economic relationships, not just military options.
I’m not so interested in talking (to him) anymore.”
This public airing of dissatisfaction underscored Trump’s eagerness to see swift resolution, and his readiness to back punitive measures if peace was not forthcoming.
Escalating Rhetoric Reflects Deepening Frustration
Trump’s shortening of the deadline and Graham’s vocal warnings mirror growing impatience within certain U.S.
political circles with the drawn-out conflict. Two can play at this game.'
Jailed Russian nationalist Igor Girkin said that unless Russia supported Iran, the Islamic Republic would be bombed into the Stone Age by the United States and Israel and then plunged into chaos.
'If Iran does not receive the necessary support from its allies, Russia and China, and very serious and significant support, then, most likely, within a month, its enemies will achieve this,' Girkin said on Telegram.
Russia taunts Trump with nuclear threat: Ex-president Dmitry Medvedev says 'number of countries' are now queuing up to hand the devastating weapons to Iran
A 'number of countries' are ready to supply Iran with nuclear warheads after its nuclear facilities were attacked by the US, Russian ex-president Dmitriy Medvedev has claimed.
In a post on X/Twitter early on Sunday, Medvedev suggested that the US strikes on three sites in Isfahan, Natanz, and Fordow had backfired and led to the opposite result from what US President Donald Trump had set out to achieve.
In a taunting post, Medvedev claimed: 'Enrichment of nuclear material — and, now we can say it outright, the future production of nuclear weapons — will continue.'
Medvedev, who has served as President of Russia from 2008 to 2012, further stated that 'Iran's political regime has survived — and in all likelihood, has come out even stronger'.
He continued to claim that Iranians are 'rallying around the country's spiritual leadership, including those who were previously indifferent or opposed to it'.
His anti-US and pro-Iran social media rant was posted in English and broken down into ten points - gathering more than three million views.
Medvedev, who has served as Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of Russia since 2020, has been regarded by some as a potential potential successor to Putin.
Russia isn’t Israel or even Iran.
Following the US strikes, Russia's Foreign Ministry said on Sunday that Russia strongly condemns the assault on its ally Iran.
In a statement, its ministry said: 'The irresponsible decision to subject the territory of a sovereign state to missile and bomb attacks, whatever the arguments it may be presented with, flagrantly violates international law, the Charter of the United Nations and the resolutions of the United Nations Security Council.
'We call for an end to aggression and for increased efforts to create conditions for returning the situation to a political and diplomatic track.'
Later on Sunday, it was reported that Trump was set to hold a phone conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin following American strikes on Iranian soil.
Medvedev's intervention comes after top US officials urged Iran to surrender after strikes on the nation's nuclear sites 'severely damaged' its nuclear capabilities overnight.

The Prime Minister urged all sides to return to negotiations but said he had taken 'all necessary measures' to protect British interests in the region if the conflict escalates.
Trump expressed frustration over repeated violence:
“There is no reason in waiting… I really felt it was going to end. At the heart of the exchange was Trump’s dramatic ultimatum demanding Russia end its military operations in Ukraine within 10 to 12 days or face intensified sanctions and diplomatic pressure—a warning that sparked sharp rebuke from Medvedev, a close ally of Vladimir Putin.
Graham’s Warning and Trump’s Ultimatum: Pressuring Moscow
Lindsey Graham, one of the staunchest advocates for a tough U.S.
stance against Russia, amplified Trump’s ultimatum on the social media platform X. Graham urged Medvedev to “get the Kremlin to the peace table,” warning that the “bloodbath” in Ukraine would continue if Russia and its trade partners did not relent.
Graham’s posts referenced his earlier proposals to impose severe tariffs—up to 500%—on countries like India and China that continue to purchase Russian oil, making clear that economic pressure on Moscow’s “customers” was part of the United States’ strategic toolkit.

Medvedev’s Sharp Rebuttal: Ultimatums as Steps Toward War
In response, Medvedev did not mince words.
'And at the same time, to offer the United States and Iran diplomatic assistance in peace negotiations by appointing a special envoy for this. Each new ultimatum is a threat and a step towards war.
It is not the first time the former Russian President has gone on a social media rant, as over the years he has earned himself a reputation for going on increasingly venomous tirades following the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
Not between Russia and Ukraine, but with his own country. As deadlines approach and rhetoric escalates, the risk of miscalculation grows, highlighting the fragile nature of a conflict that remains deeply resistant to swift resolution.

On Monday, he reduced the time frame from 50 days to a 10-12-day period."I've spoken to President Putin a lot, I've gotten along with him very well," he said, adding that Putin “goes out and starts launching rockets into some city, like Kyiv, and kills a lot of people in a nursing home or whatever, you have bodies lying all over the street.”
The US had threatened to impose a 100 per cent tariff on Russia and its trading partners unless an agreement on resolving the Ukraine conflict was achieved within 50 days.

The US had also continued to send weapons to Kyiv as long as the EU vows to pay for it.
A recent social media tussle between former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham brought to light the growing tensions over the ongoing war in Ukraine and the increasingly urgent efforts by former President Donald Trump to push for a ceasefire.
The use of hard deadlines and economic sanctions signals an attempt to increase pressure on Russia’s leadership and its allies.
Medvedev’s Response Marks Defiant Posture
By rejecting the ultimatum as a trigger for broader war, Medvedev reinforces Russia’s message of resilience and warns of serious consequences should the U.S.
overplay its hand. But every time I think it’s going to end, he kills people. He was quick to defend US President Donald Trump's position to end the war.
In a reply to Medvedev's post, he wrote, “You and your customers will soon be sadly mistaken. You will also soon see that Joe Biden is no longer president.

The close Putin ally initially presented himself as a liberal reformer during his one-off stint as president from 2008-2012.
Yet when Russian troops marched over the Ukrainian border three years ago, Medvedev rolled back his liberal stance and quickly became one of the most hawkish and aggressive mouthpieces of the Kremlin.
Commentators in Russia and beyond have claimed the former president's overt rage and support of the war could be a tactic to ensure his continued prosperity and safety as a member of Putin's inner circle, or perhaps to curry favour with hardliners as Putin grows older.
