On Sunday, President Trump warned Iran via twitter, that it risked consequences "the like of which few throughout history have suffered before" if the countries leadership made more threats against the United States.
To Iranian President Rouhani: NEVER, EVER THREATEN THE UNITED STATES AGAIN OR YOU WILL SUFFER CONSEQUENCES THE LIKES OF WHICH FEW THROUGHOUT HISTORY HAVE EVER SUFFERED BEFORE. WE ARE NO LONGER A COUNTRY THAT WILL STAND FOR YOUR DEMENTED WORDS OF VIOLENCE & DEATH. BE CAUTIOUS!

Tensions have heated up between the two countries, since Trump decided to withdrew the US from the controversial Iran Nuclear Deal established by the Obama administration in 2015.
Many have accused one of the architects of the deal, former Secretary of State John Kerry, of treason, for attempting "back channel" and unauthorized diplomacy to save the deal. Some have called Barack Obama the greatest state sponsor of terror in history for allowing the United States involvement in a program that modernized Iran's nuclear infrastructure.
Trump, who previously used strong rhetoric in the initial phases of the diplomatic reset between the US and North Korea, has again laid out a strong position for the United States. Whether or not it produces positive results with the Iranians remains to be seen.
