Trump Just Threatened Iran with War on Twitter, ‘It Will Be The Official End of Iran!’
Donald Trump took to Twitter to issue a threat against Iran amidst escalating tensions between the United States and the Middle Eastern country.
Yes, you read that correctly. Trump threatened war over social media.
The president’s warning was short and direct: “If Iran wants to fight, that will be the official end of Iran. Never threaten the United States again!
The threat comes just days after the New York Times reported that Trump was seeking to tamp down escalated tensions between his administration and Tehran, telling acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan he doesn’t want a war with the country.
If Iran wants to fight, that will be the official end of Iran. Never threaten the United States again!
