“NEVER, EVER THREATEN THE UNITED STATES AGAIN”.

President Donald Trump has threatened Iran will “suffer the consequences the likes of which few throughout history have ever suffered before” in a late night tweet all in capital letters that threatened to further imperil relations between the United States and the Iranian government.

The post, sent at 11:24 pm ET on Sunday night, came after Iranian president Hassan Rouhani warned the US earlier in the day about pursuing hostile policy against his government, suggesting that “war with Iran is the mother of all wars”. Rouhani had also not ruled out peace, according to comments reported by the Iranian state news agency, IRNA.

Trump, who returned to the White House on Sunday evening after spending the weekend at his golf course in Bedminster, New Jersey, addressed his Tweet directly to Rouhani, warning the president to “NEVER, EVER THREATEN THE UNITED STATES AGAIN”.

The message continued: “WE ARE NO LONGER A COUNTRY THAT WILL STAND FOR YOUR DEMENTED WORDS OF VIOLENCE & DEATH. BE CAUTIOUS!”
