President Donald Trump lobbed a tweeted weapon at Iran on Thursday morning after the Islamic republic tested a ballistic missile – something the nuclear bargain it struck with Barack Obama explicitly forbids.
‘Iran has been formally PUT ON NOTICE for firing a ballistic missile,’ the president wrote on Twitter.
‘Should have been thankful for the terrible deal the U.S. made with them!’
‘Iran was on its last legs and ready to collapse until the U.S. came along and gave it a life-line in the form of the Iran Deal: $150 billion,’ he added in a second tweet.
Trump has been openly hostile to the terms of the Obama-Tehran nuclear deal, saying during his presidential campaign that it was ‘stupid,’ ‘a disgrace,” and ‘the worst deal ever negotiated.’
His tweets likely stand as the first time a head of state has used social media to threaten a foreign country.
