‘Never threaten Iran,’ Rouhani tells Trump

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani on Monday warns his American counterpart Donald Trump to “never threaten the Iranian nation,” after he issued a US strike list of 52 targets in the Islamic Republic.

“Those who refer to the number 52 should also remember the number 290. #IR655 Never threaten the Iranian nation,” he tweets, referring to the 290 lives lost in July 1988 when a US warship shot down passenger plane Iran Air 655 in the Gulf.
