Trump threatens 'great and overwhelming force' if Iran attacks 'anything American'

President Trump on Tuesday responded to disparaging comments from the Iranian president by threatening Tehran with "great and overwhelming force" if it attacks "anything American."
Trump, in a series of fiery tweets, shot back after Iranian President Hassan Rouhani called the White House "mentally retarded" in the wake of fresh sanctions targeting the Supreme Leader.
"Iran leadership doesn't understand the words 'nice' or 'compassion,' they never have," Trump tweeted. "Sadly, the thing they do understand is Strength and Power, and the USA is by far the most powerful Military Force in the world, with 1.5 Trillion Dollars invested over the last two years alone."
