Donald Trump threatened on Tuesday to "obliterate" parts of Iran if it attacked “anything American."
This is just the newest string of threats in a new war of words with Iran, reports Reuters.
Iran recently condemned the latest U.S. sanctions on Tehran and called White House actions “mentally retarded.”
Trump signed an executive order imposing largely symbolic economic sanctions on Monday.
The sanctions are against Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and other senior figures.
