President Trump delivered a stern warning to Iran should they choose to retaliate to the airstrike that killed their general. The US is targeting 52 unnamed Iranian assets should they choose to do something stupid.
Iran is talking very boldly about targeting certain USA assets as revenge for our ridding the world of their terrorist leader who had just killed an American, & badly wounded many others, not to mention all of the people he had killed over his lifetime, including recently….

According to FoxNews following Soleimani’s death, Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has said “harsh retaliation is waiting for the criminals whose filthy hands spilled his blood.”
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani promised to “take revenge for this heinous crime.”
The Iran-backed militias that spawned in Iraq, known as the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF), have been quick to threaten prompt revenge on U.S. personnel and interests. Slaughtered alongside Soleimani at the airport was his close confidante Abu Mahdi al-Mohandas, the deputy head of the PMF.
Trump has made it clear that he expected the Iranians to stop threatening the United States.
“The USA wants no more threats!” Trump had tweeted…
Trump warned Iran through a series of tweets informing them that retaliation would be dire.
….targeted 52 Iranian sites (representing the 52 American hostages taken by Iran many years ago), some at a very high level & important to Iran & the Iranian culture, and those targets, and Iran itself, WILL BE HIT VERY FAST AND VERY HARD. The USA wants no more threats!
