We Deserves To Be Address with Respect not threats of war, Iran warns U.S.

A day after the President of the United States of America, Donald Trump stoked concerns about a potential U.S – Iran conflict, Iran has warned the U.S against addressing the them with threats of war.

Trump tweeted on Sunday says: “If Iran wants to fight, that will be the official end of Iran. Never threaten the U.S. again!”

Foreign Minister of Iran, Mohammad Zarif replied on his Twitter account “Never Threaten An Iranian. Try respect—it works!”

US has tightened economic sanctions against Iran, and his administration says it has built up the U.S. military presence in the region.

Tehran has described U.S moves as psychological warfare and a political game while Trump accuses Iran of posing threats to U.S troops and interests.

On Monday, Britain told Iran not to underestimate the resolve of the U.S., warning that if American interests were attacked then the Trump administration would retaliate.

The foreign minister of Oman, Gulf Arab state that in the past helped pave the way for negotiations between Iran and the U.S., visited Tehran on Monday.

This came two weeks after Trump reimposed sanctions aimed at blocking all Iranian oil exports to cripple its economy, declared it would scale back some commitments under the accord it signed with six world powers.

Iran was allowed to stockpile a maximum of 300 kg of low-enriched uranium, and ship any excess out of the country for storage or sale under the 2015 deal.

Iran said this month that cap no longer applied in response to the unilateral U.S. withdrawal from the deal.


U.S President has condemned the accord, signed by his predecessor Barack Obama, as flawed for not being permanent and for not covering Iran’s ballistic missile programme.
