Last night Iran told the US that Trump’s latest sanctions meant the “permanent” end to diplomatic relations between the two countries. They also insulted Trump by saying the White House was “afflicted by mental retardation”.
Trump just took to Twitter and responded to Iran’s latest comments in a three-part tweet that essentially warns them against attacking “anything American” or else the US will respond with “overwhelming force” which may mean “obliteration” in some areas:
Iran leadership doesn’t understand the words “nice” or “compassion,” they never have. 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..

….The wonderful Iranian people are suffering, and for no reason at all. Their leadership spends all of its money on Terror, and little on anything else. The U.S. has not forgotten Iran’s use of IED’s & EFP’s (bombs), which killed 2000 Americans, and wounded many more…

….Iran’s very ignorant and insulting statement, put out today, only shows that they do not understand reality. Any attack by Iran on anything American will be met with great and overwhelming force. In some areas, overwhelming will mean obliteration. No more John Kerry & Obama!

I love that dig at Obama and Kerry at the end. LOL!
But seriously, this isn’t a situation to be taken lightly. Trump is laying it all out on the line now, drawing red lines on military action.
He’s right to suggest that Iran only understands strength and power and hopefully they won’t test Trump’s resolve or try and call his bluff. If they do, he won’t have any recourse after this statement but to respond with serious military action.
