US President said: “Iran speaks with great courage about marking important US targets for retaliation for revenge on the world from their terrorist leader, who just recently killed an American and seriously wounded many other people. We will not talk about all the people he killed during his life, including hundreds of Iranian protesters only recently”.
Trump added: “Soleimani has attacked our embassy, and is planning further attacks elsewhere. Iran has done nothing but trouble in recent years.” He said, “Marked 52 Iranian sites – some of which are of high importance to Iran and Iranian culture. These targets, and Iran itself, will be attacked quickly and powerfully if Iran hits Americans or attacks American targets.” He signed: “The US does not want to absorb any more threats!”
A few hours later Trump tweeted again, threatening again: “They attacked us and we attacked back. If they attack again, and I strongly advise them not to do so, we will hit them harder than ever before.” In another tweet, the threats only escalated: “The United States has spent two trillion dollars on military equipment. We are the world’s largest and best in the gap! If Iran attacks an American base, or any American, some of this beautiful military equipment will be launched at them, and without hesitation.”
