Trump Tweets Explosive Threat to Iran
posted on July 23, 2018CNN’s Joshua Berlinger reports that President Trump issued a threat to Iranian President Hassan Rouhani over Twitter, stating in all-caps: “NEVER, EVER THREATEN THE UNITED STATES AGAIN.” Trump’s tweet comes on the heels of remarks made by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo during a speech in California on Sunday, where he likened the Iranian regime to the mafia. Berlinger writes, “Later Monday morning, national security adviser John Bolton said Trump told him that ‘if Iran does anything at all to the negative, they will pay a price like few countries have ever paid before.’”
