They indeed mention Trump specifically, no "Death to America" anymore, like they used to 😀 In my eyes this is commendable😀

Not until he's no longer President (we don't need any martyrdom); their biggest competition at that point is going to be cholesterol & dementia

State Department warns Iran of 'consequences' at G20 meeting
At the G20 foreign ministers' meeting in Atlanta chaired by Marco Rubio, State Department principal deputy spokesperson Tommy Pigott publicly warned Iran that continued 'malign activities' would bring consequences, while saying nuclear talks had been 'constructive' and that Trump preferred diplomacy.
“The Iranian regime has had a choice ... to either pursue the path towards normalcy, towards prosperity for their people, the path towards diplomacy. Or they can continue their malign activities, but there will be consequences for that.”

Most of the US would thank them if they followed through on their threat

🦋 Is his underground bunker even finished????... Poor Donny....He's going to be afraid to even golf anymore...

Thanks for that. I didn't know he was inside that!

He's far too stupid to care. About anyone but himself. He proves it every single day.

He will never get prison because our so called "justice" system is a complete joke.
-
I wonder how it feels for the poor baby to be on the receiving end of a threat for a change? God knows he's been letting them fly at all of us fast and furious for the last few years.
-
This is why Trump wants his bunker. He was planning on starting WWIII all along.
-
Trump has absolutely no idea what he's done.
-
The schadenfreude would be so much sweeter if he rotted in prison for a few years first.
-
Thank you for your attention to this matter

I hate that Trump is so awful he's given the repressive Iranian regime a lifeline. Think about it... If he hadn't attacked Iran, would their cruel regime be experiencing a spike in support now? Their government is *awful*... and Trump somehow managed to make them look good.
-
I’m seriously concerned trump will launch a nuclear attack on Iran in response to a blue wave midterm. He’s mad.
-
I feel like they could target hagueseth without making him a martyr.

THIS! The last thing we want is for him to die by anyone's hand but his own. let him die on the toilet after a late night rage tweet. Let him not be found for hours so rigor sets in and he has to be pried off. Let that be the image people remember of that man. Don't risk lionizing him.

Isn't Russia supporting Iran? I think this "threat" is collusion to subvert US election.

That's why he put military equipment around maralago. Dude is scared.

With anyone else I might be horrified. I can't say I would encourage them but I wouldn't stop them either.

That's what he gets for repeatedly baiting them.
