President Donald Trump told the New York Times over the weekend that President Xi Jinping of China and Russian leader Vladimir Putin helped him to secure a peace deal with Iran to end the war. The Times diplomatic correspondent Edward Wong pointed out on Monday just how remarkable a claim that truly was, given that both Russia and China helped Iran to attack U.S. troops in the region during the conflict. "What he didn't mention: the State Dept. has imposed sanctions on companies for sending Chinese arms to Iran. And Russia has given intelligence aid to Iran," Wong wrote, while sharing the report on social media.
