Obama would have bowed to Iran and given them more money
Trump’s tweet to Iran cannot bully the west away from making peace
Wow. Social media really is transforming the art of diplomacy. Donald Trump’s secretary of state, Mike Pompeo, has called the rulers of Iran a “mafia more than a governmentâ€. They are a bunch of “hypocritical holy men†who have devised “all kinds of crooked schemes to become some of the wealthiest men on Earth while their people sufferâ€. When Iran’s president Hassan Rouhani pleads for the mother of all peace instead of the “mother of all wars,â€Â Trump retorts that if he ever says that again, he will see “consequences the likes of which few throughout history have ever suffered before … Be cautious!†Children are told that words can never hurt you, but there must be limits.
Oh, wait, sorry, that’s the hardcore, unhinged Leftist view of the tweet from Simon Jenkins at the UK Guardian, which seems to be the opinion of many on the left, who are taking the side of Iran.
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. WE ARE NO LONGER A COUNTRY THAT WILL STAND FOR YOUR DEMENTED WORDS OF VIOLENCE & DEATH. BE CAUTIOUS!

What they missed is that Iran was threatening the US, and has been threatening the US.
(CNN) President Donald Trump issued a furious, all-caps challenge to the Iranian regime late Sunday night, warning that any threats to the US would be met with unspecified dire consequences.
The tirade — apparently in response to earlier remarks by Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani, who warned the US that war with Tehran would be the “mother of all wars” — signaled an immediate escalation of tensions between Washington and Tehran.
In his comments, Rouhani warned Trump not to “play with the lion’s tail, because you will regret it eternally.” He also held out the possibility of a peaceful relationship with the US, in remarks reported by Iranian state media.
Funny thing is, Iran seems to get Trump better than the deranged #resistance
On Monday, a senior officer in Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, Commander General Gholam Hossein Gheibparvar, described Trump’s remarks as “psychological warfare,” the semi-official ISNA news agency reported.
It worked with North Korea. Regardless, Iran has been threatening the US for quite some time. The latest regards sanctions on Iran’s oil, and that they could close the Straights of Hormuz. Why do Leftists want to take the side of Iran?
