Russia's former president says countries are lining up to give Iran their nukes. Analysts are calling his bluff.

Analysts are casting doubt on Russia's former president's claim that "a number of countries" were considering supplying nuclear warheads to Iran after the Pentagon's salvo of bunker-buster strikes there.

Dmitry Medvedev, who was president from 2008 to 2012 and is a top aide to Russian President Vladimir Putin, didn't specify which countries he was referring to in his Telegram post on Sunday. In his post, he downplayed the damage dealt to Iran's vital nuclear sites.

As news of the strikes broke on Saturday, the Pentagon was careful to say it was still assessing the destruction caused by the 14 GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator bombs and Tomahawk missiles it fired at Iran's nuclear sites.

Medvedev wrote that the strikes had "entangled" the US in a new conflict. "A number of countries are ready to directly supply Iran with their own nuclear warheads," he added.

Russia gets their drones from Iran. Something to think about.
