DUBAI (Reuters) - Iranian President Hassan Rouhani on Sunday cautioned U.S. President Donald Trump about pursuing hostile policies against Tehran, saying “war with Iran is the mother of all wars”, but did not rule out peace between the two countries.
Iran faces increased U.S. pressure and looming sanctions after Trump’s decision to withdraw the United States from a 2015 international deal over Iran’s nuclear program.
Addressing a gathering of Iranian diplomats, Rouhani said: “Mr Trump, don’t play with the lion’s tail, this would only lead to regret,” the state new agency IRNA reported.
“America should know that peace with Iran is the mother of all peace, and war with Iran is the mother of all wars,” Rouhani said, leaving open the possibility of peace between the two countries, at odds since the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
“You are not in a position to incite the Iranian nation against Iran’s security and interests,” Rouhani said, in an apparent reference to reported efforts by Washington to destabilize Iran’s Islamic government.
In Washington, U.S. officials familiar with the matter told Reuters that the Trump administration had launched an offensive of speeches and online communications meant to foment unrest and help pressure Iran to end its nuclear program and its support of militant groups.

Of course no flagged Iranian forces will be involved.
But, hey, when all you've got is the timeworn "mother of all...", delusion is what you do.
Iran is the Mother of all Bluster.
They issued the same threat that Hussein gave us form Iraq. What will be used to replace shock and awe?
They’re worried about payback. Their own victims.
We already fought the “mother of all wars” years ago. It didn’t end well well for Saddam...
Where have I heard that before ?
After one day he will willing calling for his mommy
They are like dims. They don't learn and they won't listen.
Rouhani thinks Trump will use Blanks like Obama
Gee Whiz, I thought this was the Religion of Peace. Silly me.
One of the reasons Trump wants to get Russia on our side is that even Russia is realizing that Iran, which they had supported for a long time, is insane and a threat not only to us but to them.
But of course the press, idiot communications majors all, knows better.
He has no idea what’s coming and it isn’t from the US.
The last guy who said that was found hiding in a spider-hole.
The Mullahs are just wanting to protect their kids.
Rich Kids of Tehran.
Probably 'duck you sucker' followed by BOOM!
“Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Saturday backed Rouhani’s suggestion that Iran may block Gulf oil exports if its own exports are halted.”
Any attempt to blockade by the formidable iranian navy will guarantee iran will no longer have a navy.
Iraq send the WMDs to Syria and the bluster to Iran.
LOL!
Fire and Fury, of course.

Another Muslim Flea floating down river on his back with an erection, yelling “ raise the bridge, I’m coming through!”
I hate war, but I’d modify that stance if someone wanted to nuke Tehran. Trump needs to arm the people of Iran, and provoke another revolution.
apparently he doesn’t realize that USA can destroy him inside of 10 minutes
then he will get a direct ticket to his Alluh in Hell...
