To Iranian President Rouhani: NEVER, EVER THREATEN THE UNITED STATES AGAIN OR YOU WILL SUFFER CONSEQUENCES THE LIKES OF WHICH FEW THROUGHOUT HISTORY HAVE EVER SUFFERED BEFORE. WE ARE NO LONGER A COUNTRY THAT WILL STAND FOR YOUR DEMENTED WORDS OF VIOLENCE & DEATH. BE CAUTIOUS!
10:24 PM - Jul 22, 2018
President Trump on Sunday night warned that if Iran continued with its threats to the U.S. the country would suffer unspecified "consequences."
In a tweet, written in all caps and directed explicitly at Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, Trump wrote: "Never, ever threaten the United States again or you will suffer consequences the likes of which few throughout history have ever suffered before. We are no longer a country that will stand for your demented words of violence & death. Be cautious!"

I can't wait to see what the Trump-Rouhani summit coin looks like. Maybe they can hold it in that unfinished hotel he tried to build in Baku, Azerbaijan. I believe the architect was Georgia O'Keefe.

President Trump late Sunday tweeted out to Iranian President Rouhani to never threaten the U.S. again or face historic consequences.
The tweet came on the heels of Rouhani’s warning to Trump that hostile policies could lead to the “mother of all wars" with Iran.
Trump called for Rouhani to stop the rhetoric or--in caps lock-- “suffer the consequences the like of which few throughout history have ever suffered before. We are no longer a country that will stand for your demented words of violence and death. Be cautious!â€

Within hours, Iranian state-owned news agency IRNA dismissed Trump's tweet, describing it as a "passive reaction" to Rouhani's remarks.

Remember what I previously said--Obama will someday attack Iran in order to show how tough he is.

Someone please get the hook. Trump is doing his Mr. Macho Tough Guy act again. :facepalm:

"I would say there might be an escalation between us and the Iranians," Trump said at a news conference in Brussels.
"They're treating us with much more respect right now than they did in the past and I know they're having a lot of problems and their economy is collapsing. But I will tell you this, at a certain point, they're going to call me and they're going to say 'Let's make a deal,' and we'll make a deal.' But they're feeling a lot of pain right now," he said.
Predictable. This got lost in the news last week, with all the other garbage he said last week.

Trump is probably angling for another clown show summit, perhaps at one of his Dubai courses or at Trump Tower Istanbul.

Rouhani warns Trump: Beware the 'mother of all wars'
Israeli National News, Jul 23, 2018
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani on Sunday warned the United States not to "play with the lion's tail", saying that conflict with Iran would be the "mother of all wars", AFP reported.
"You declare war and then you speak of wanting to support the Iranian people,†said Rouhani in comments directed at President Donald Trump.
"You cannot provoke the Iranian people against their own security and interests," he added in a televised speech at a gathering of Iranian diplomats in Tehran.
Rouhani repeated his warning that Iran could shut down the strategic Strait of Hormuz, a vital shipping lane for international oil supplies. Iran's Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) recently issued a similar warning as well.
"We have always guaranteed the security of this strait. Do not play with the lion's tail, you will regret it forever," he warned, according to AFP.
"Peace with Iran would be the mother of all peace and war with Iran would be the mother of all wars," added Rouhani.
In May, Trump pulled out of the 2015 deal under which sanctions on Iran were lifted in return for curbs to its nuclear program. Washington has since told countries they must stop buying Iranian oil from November 4 or face financial measures.

It was Trump's tweet that pushed it all over the edge, huh?

That's what they're saying.
I think Pompeo had an awful lot to do with it, though. Trump is going to topple the Iranian regime.

#IranUpdate
Following US President Donald Trump's tweet & Sec. Pompeo's speech, in #Iran gold coins are now selling at nearly 40 million rials.
This is around $952.38 at the fixed government rate of 42,000 rial/US dollar.
The regime's economy is crumbling = #Winning

I find that unbelievable. Also, his adherence to the truth leaves a lot to be desired. I don't believe things just because he says them.

So I guess people are really going to go with the “Trump will explode the world†thing after that Iran tweet, ignoring the North Korea “fire and fury†tweet that led to pretty much nothing.

I see we have a bunch of Iran fan boys on this thread. Personally I have not at all liked Iran ever since they took our embassy staff hostage back in 79. Oh and always calling for "Death to America"
is not very endearing either. But it's a free country so if you want to root for Iran over our president
feel free to got for it.
I'm pretty much anti-war but a war with Iran is a war I could support.

That's one thing he says that I do believe. His brother drank himself to death. Trump likes to blame his woes on others, so I can easily see him attributing a drinking problem to some sort of family malady, rather than a lack of self control.

Guys. Calm down. Thomas Jefferson used to address the Barbary Pirates in all caps. Remember Harry Truman’s tweet-storm against Tojo. Deep breath everyone.

This is just another BS move - Fire And Fury, Part II. The same guy who says he inherited this problem because Obama didn’t do anything, said back in 2011 that Obama would attack Iran for political purposes.

Interesting even though Iranians are in line to buy gold, overall the price is down. I don't think the market is taking this threat seriously.

I commend the strong position expressed by @POTUS & @SecPompeo against Iranian aggression. Over the years, the major powers have spoiled Iran. It's good to see the US changing this unacceptable equation. Our diplomatic & military cooperation with the US is at an all-time high.
