Fact-check
We started looking for the statements of the leaders appearing in the photos during the fact check. But we did not find any evidence that any of the leaders made the statement as per the photo. The United States and Russia have stated opposition to using force or imposing sanctions on Iran.
On May 9, US President Donald Trump spoke of mediating between India and China. The very next day, President Trump claimed that he had spoken to Prime Minister Modi and Modi replied that he was not in a "good mood" over the major conflict between India and China.
