President Trump indicated that “Iran is talking very boldly about targeting certain U.S. assets as revenge for our ridding the world of their terrorist leader [ie, Qassem Soleimeni]… Let this serve as a warning that if Iran strikes any Americans, or American assets, we have targeted 52 Iranian sites (representing the 52 American hostages taken by Iran many years ago), some 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. The U.S. wants no more threats!”
