Iran has hit back at Donald Trump after the President warned Tehran to ‘never, ever threaten the US again’ in an all-caps Twitter outburst that raised the specter of war.
A top Iranian general bragged on Monday that America ‘won’t dare’ attack despite Trump threatening ‘consequences few throughout history have ever suffered’ a tweet-storm late on Sunday night.
General Gholam Hossein Gheibparvar, chief of the Revolutionary Guard’s Basij force, dismissed Trump’s message as little more than ‘psychological warfare.’
He added: ‘We will never abandon our revolutionary beliefs. We will resist pressure from enemies.
‘America wants nothing less than [to] destroy Iran … [but] Trump cannot do a damn thing against Iran.’
Iran’s state-owned IRNA news agency further goaded Trump, describing his tweet as a ‘passive reaction’.
The agency also accused Trump of copying Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, who had in the past warned the West to ‘never threaten an Iranian.’
Trump’s attack came after President Hassan Rouhani gave a speech in which he cautioned: ‘Peace with Iran will be the mother of all peace, but war with Iran will be the mother of all wars.’
That prompted Trump to write: ‘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.
