Trump warned the country that it should be “careful” with making threats to the US as tensions between the two countries continue to soar. Earlier this week, Iran announced that it had exceeded the levels previously agreed in the 2015 nuclear deal. Following that announcement, Trump tweeted to his followers: “Iran has just issued a New Warning.
“Rouhani says that they will Enrich Uranium to ‘any amount we want’ if there is no new Nuclear Deal.
“Be careful with the threats, Iran.
“They can come back to bite you like nobody has been bitten before!”
Earlier this week, Iran’s military group leader attacked the US for being terrified of a war with the Islamic Republic.

Before Mr Salami’s comments, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani announced that the state would increase its uranium enrichment programme again on Sunday.
Rouhani said: “After July 7 we will enrich uranium to whatever levels we need.”
Despite the aggressive rhetoric emanating from both camps, Iranian politician Ali Larijani insisted that the country “did not seek to gain nuclear weapons”.
Mr Larijani also insisted that Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has banned the use of nuclear weapons despite Trump’s accusations against the Republic.
