Iranian President Hassan Rouhani on Sunday warned the United States not to "play with the lion's tail", saying that conflict with Iran would be the "mother of all wars", AFP reported.

"You declare war and then you speak of wanting to support the Iranian people,” said Rouhani in comments directed at President Donald Trump.

"You cannot provoke the Iranian people against their own security and interests," he added in a televised speech at a gathering of Iranian diplomats in Tehran.

Rouhani repeated his warning that Iran could shut down the strategic Strait of Hormuz, a vital shipping lane for international oil supplies. Iran's Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) recently issued a similar warning as well.

"We have always guaranteed the security of this strait. Do not play with the lion's tail, you will regret it forever," he warned, according to AFP.

saying that conflict with Iran would be the “mother of all wars ............................................ I guess the Mullahs found more children to lead the attack? They stalemated the war with Iraq, who we fought in a FTX of 100 hours, and the 2nd time the whole country in less than a month. I can’t wait for the Iranians to run these Mullahs through the streets naked and return them to Saudi Arabia.

Wouldn't it be nice to see Iranian Mullahs being treated to Ceaușescu therapy? Julius Streicher therapy would tickle me even more.

Yeah, and we could incinerate anything they put in that strait without getting up from our comfy chairs half a world away.

Better have a plan for AFTER you take out these mullahs.

Blowing stuff up is the easy part. I’d also like to not have to rebuild that idiotic piece of real estate at US taxpayer expense when its over.

Gutting them militarily? Be my guest.

How do you reduce the size of a photo? I have refrained from posting some photos because they were too big.

<img src=" PUT URL HERE " width=50%>

will make the pic take up 50% of the width of whatever window it's in.
