A commander in Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guards shot back at President Trump’s warning to the Islamic Republic about threatening the United States as “psychological warfare,” according to a report on Monday.
“America wants nothing less than (to) destroy Iran,” Gholamhossein Gheybparvar said, Reuters reported, citing state media. “Trump cannot do a damn thing against Iran.”
“We will never abandon our revolutionary beliefs,” the brigadier general added. “We will resist pressure from enemies.”
His comments came after Trump in an all-caps tweet late Sunday blasted Iranian President Hassan Rouhani for warning the US’ hostile policies would lead to the “mother of all wars.”
” 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!,” Trump wrote.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in a speech at the Reagan Presidential Library in California said the US will pursue a “diplomatic and economic pressure campaign” against the country in support of Iranians unhappy with their leaders, who he referred to as “hypocritical holy men.”
Pompeo on Sunday said Washington would resume sanctions against Tehran after Trump withdrew in May from a 2015 nuclear deal a handful of nations inked with Iran.
He said the aim is to get Iranian oil imports as close to “zero as possible” by Nov. 4, when the sanctions will resume.mark moo
