Senior Iranian Official Threatens Trump: Iran Will Respond to US ‘Economic Terrorism’ ‘By All Means Necessary’

By Morgan PhillipsJun 21st, 2019, 10:59 am

A top advisor to Iranian President Hassan Rouhani equated U.S. sanctions on Iran to “economic terrorism” and said the nation would respond by “all means necessary.”

Advisor Hesameddin Ashena said the crisis between the two nations directly stemmed from President Donald Trump‘s withdrawal from the JCPOA, or the Iran nuclear deal. He also said “this process is reversible. Every tangible constructive step will be met in kind.”




In a tweet the hour before, the Iranian official said war and sanctions are “two sides of the same coin.” He said if the president does not want war, he must ease the sanctions.




These tweets came before President Trump’s series of tweets boasting of his withdrawal from President Barack Obama’s “desperate and terrible deal with Iran” and saying that the sanctions were working and that he added more last night.

I can understand the US deciding NOT to do trade with a country. The intimidation of other nations to follow suit makes me want to scream.

I sympathize with Iran on this one. Europe WANTS to continue this treaty that that lard ass coward pulled us out of, and now the orange tyrant coward is insisting Europe follow his lead in starving the Iranian government and society. This is absurd!

Someone in the Pentagon shut down last nights Neo Con shit show. Once the warning came from Oman,you knew those hidden Anti Aircraft and Missile sites popped up on Intel Satellite Images. And Qatar as well as other person's were Targets.
