Iran has given a sharp rebuke to Donald Trump’s recent threats, saying the US’ “economic terrorism and genocidal taunts” will do little harm to the country that withstood foreign invasions for quite a long time.

The US President “hopes to achieve what Alexander, Genghis [Khan] & other aggressors failed to do,” Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif proclaimed on Twitter.

Zarif’s message came as both Iran and the United States ratcheted up their rhetoric. Just recently, Trump added more fuel to the ongoing war of words, writing on Twitter that if Iran wants to fight, “that will be the official end of Iran.”

Also last week, Major General Hossein Salami, commander of Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) reflected on a prospect of war being waged between the two rivals. He said that the Islamic Republic doesn’t want to fight against the US but is ready for any eventuality.
In the meantime, Washington’s leaders “are afraid of war and don’t have the will for it,” Salami said, according to the Fars News Agency.
