This after the president threatens to hit 52 Iranian sites hard if Tehran attacks Americans or US assets.
Iran condemned Donald Trump on Sunday as a"terrorist in a suit" after the US president threatened to hit 52 Iranian sites hard if Tehran attacks Americans or US assets in retaliation for the killing of military commander Qassem Soleimani.
Soleimani was the architect of Tehran’s overseas clandestine and military operations as head of the Revolutionary Guards’ Quds Force. Trump said the US has"targeted 52 Iranian sites" and that some were"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."
"In a potential conflict in the future, which I don't think they have the courage to carry out, there it will become clear where the numbers five and two will belong," he said. Thousands of mourners dressed in black marched through the streets of Ahvaz beating their chests in live footage aired on state TV.British foreign minister Dominic Raab said on Sunday he had spoken to Iraq's prime minister and president to urge efforts to relieve tensions in the region following the US strike.
"There is no need for the presence of American forces after defeating Islamic State," said Ammar al-Shibli, a Shi'ite lawmaker and member of parliament's legal committee.
