The tussle between America and Iran has escalated further. American President Donald Trump has warned Iran to attack 52 Iranian sites under his surveillance, if Iran attacks any Americans or any American assets in response to Friday’s drone strike that killed Iranian military commander Qasim Soleimani in Iraq.
Trump wrote on Twitter that Iran “is talking very boldly about targeting certain American assets”.
He said that United States has targeted 52 Iranian sites out of which some were at a very high level and important to Iran and the Iranian culture, and those targets and Iran itself will be hit very fast and very hard.
Warning Iran, the Trump said “The USA wants no more threats”. He further said that the 52 targets represented the 52 Americans who were held hostage in Iran after being seized at the US embassy in Tehran in 1979.”
The democrats are not happy with the Republican Presidents tweets issued during his holiday stay in Florida. Democrats say that Trumps action is bringing the United States to the brink of war.
On Saturday in Iraq, tens of thousands of people marched to mourn the death of Solaemani and the Iraqi militia leader. Yesterday evening, a rocket fell inside Baghdad’s fortified green zone near the US embassy. Another rocket hit the nearby Jadriya neighborhood and two more rockets were fired at the Balad airbase but no one was killed, the Iraqi military said in a statement.
