President Donald Trump took to his Twitter page to issue a direct threat as tension between Washington and Tehran continues to escalate that war would spell “the official end of Iran”
His remarks came in the wake of a rocket attack less than a mile from the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad’s heavily fortified Green Zone, which appeared to have been carried out by Iran-backed Shiite militias, an Iraqi military spokesman said.
Taking to Twitter, at just after 4pm ET, the president posted:
‘If Iran wants to fight, that will be the official end of Iran.
Never threaten the United States again!’
