President Donald Trump made it clear to Iran on Friday that the United States will no longer sit idly by while it violates the nuclear agreement.
In a stern warning, Trump told Iran they’re “playing with fire,” and negotiations won’t be like dealing with ‘kind’ Obama.
Iran is playing with fire – they don’t appreciate how “kind” President Obama was to them. Not me!

The tweet came ahead of new sanctions that will be levied against the Islamic nation, according to a White House source.
Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif responded quickly on Twitter, stating his nation was unafraid.
Iran unmoved by threats as we derive security from our people. We’ll never initiate war, but we can only rely on our own means of defense. pic.twitter.com/TxlSEL8rjj

He added that Iran had no intention of initiating war, despite its recent provocative missile launch, but was prepared to defend itself.
We will never use our weapons against anyone, except in self-defense. Let us see if any of those who complain can make the same statement. pic.twitter.com/xwGquvqLvb
