President Donald Trump has warned Iranian President Hassan Rouhani that he will face dire consequences for threatening the United States.
Trump tweeted late yesterday about the dangers to Iran of making hostile threats after Rouhani said "America must understand well that peace with Iran is the mother of all peace and war with Iran is the mother of all wars."
Trump responded with a tweet that warned: "Never ever threaten the united states again or you will suffer consequences the like of which few throughout history have ever suffered before."
The agency, a government mouthpiece, also said Monday that Trump's comment was only mimicking and copying Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif who had in the past warned the West to "never threaten an Iranian."
Rouhani had warned Trump yesterday to stop "playing with the lion's tail" and threatening Iran, "or else you will regret it."
He said the US Broadcasting Board of Governors is taking new steps to help Iranians get around internet censorship and is launching a new 24/7 Farsi-language channel across television, radio, digital, and social media formats, "so that ordinary Iranians inside Iran and around the globe can know America stands with them."
