Iran warns Trump against taking military action
When asked whether US military strikes on Iran are likely to happen, US President Donald Trump was noncommittal on Tuesday.
“We’re just going to have to see what happens with Iran,” he told reporters at the White House.
Trump claimed US pressure convinced Iranian officials to cancel plans to hang 837 people after nationwide protests last week.
“We let them know – that if that happens, that will be a very bad day for them. And they decided not to do it,” he said.
Iran has warned Trump not to consider taking any action against the country’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Abolfazl Shekarchi, a spokesperson for Iran’s Armed Forces, said “[Trump] knows that if any hand is raised to assault our leader, we will not only cut off that hand … but we will set their world on fire”.
