Full title................'You wouldn't dare attack': Tehran goads 'passive' Trump and says he 'can't do a damn thing to Iran' after his all-caps warning to president Rouhani...............Iran has hit back at Donald Trump after the President warned Tehran to 'never, ever threaten the US again' in an all-caps Twitter outburst that raised the specter of war.

A top Iranian general bragged on Monday that America 'won't dare' attack despite Trump threatening 'consequences few throughout history have ever suffered' a tweet-storm late on Sunday night.

General Gholam Hossein Gheibparvar, chief of the Revolutionary Guard's Basij force, dismissed Trump's message as little more than 'psychological warfare.'

He added: 'We will never abandon our revolutionary beliefs. We will resist pressure from enemies.

They said, “Pursuing hostile policies against Tehran, saying “War with Iran is the mother of all wars””

Did we attack Iran? What hostilities are they talking about?

I doubt though that they will be attacking/seizing some small boat of the US navy with Trump in the WhiteHouse, as they did with that guy who was its previous occupant.

There’s no way Russia is going to go to war over Iran. We should have declared war and nuked them back in 1980. It’s unfortunate that Bush got so bogged down in nation building in Iraq that we didn’t settle their hash immediately after taking out Saddam. Now they are on the verge of being able to nuke us, something that is totally unacceptable. I’m no neo-con, and the only reason I support war is in the event of an attack or an existential threat. Iran has done the former more than once, and is on the verge of being the latter. We need to stop them once and for all by taking out the regeime.

Kharg Island is Iran’s only oil export terminal.

I used to be fond of flying an F-15 Strike Eagle simulation program on an old 486 machine. Lighting up Kharg Island was great fun.

I strongly oppose, as you do any action against Iran except for a direct threat to the soil and people of the United States of America. That is an “existential threat”.. I see absolutely none as we clearly have with North Korea that has 6 times directly threatened nuclear attack on this country or our protectorate , Guam. I oppose the fiddeling around with them. But here we have no such overt threat. No pretext what so ever for any act of aggression under a doctrine of preemption.Saudi Arabia , clearly did facilitate the Sunni attack on 911 and we just avert our gaze. Seems like selective outrage to me. Very inconsistent.

What attacks or hostilities were the Iranians referring to? Btw, this is really an easy question.

I count 40 years of “Death to America” as a threat. The mullahs are just too fanatical to allow them nukes. We can’t count on 12th Imam Islamic nutjobs being rational.

It wouldn’t be very difficult, at all.

It could be done with cruise missiles, easily.

Do it at night to minimize casualties, destroy infrastructure.

That’t the wrong answer back to a Trump threat!

I’d hate to see anything going on that could turn ugly, before the mid terms. We cannot give any control to the dems!!!

He could do some oil damage in prices, who could purchase from Iran... or encourage/help the inner population of Iran... or ...

It seems to have worked for NKorea, but it does not work every time. .. testing is hairy business.

Damascus is prophesied to be laid to waste.. it has not happened yet.. Israel was doing some threatening to Syria, they could certainly lay waste to any area over there.

Could you replace the names in your comments to the “today’s” country names?
