Iran threatens to ‘attack’ US White House over Trump’s warning

On Sunday Iran threatened to attack the White House in United States of America with warning of retaliation by President Donald Trump.

The threat was issued by Iranian MP, Abolfazl Abutorabi during an open session in Tehran parliament, Iran.

Trump had warned that any attack on American interests by Iran will bring huge retaliation.

Reacting to Trump’s warning, Abutorabi said: “We can attack the White House itself, we can respond to them on the American soil. We have the power, and God willing we will respond in an appropriate time.

“This is a declaration of war, which means if you hesitate you lose.

‘When someone declares war do you want to respond to the bullets with flowers? They will shoot you in the head.”

US airstrike had killed an Iranian General, Qassem Soleimani.

The strike had killed Soleimani, the Revolutionary Guard General and head of the elite Quds Force, at Baghdad International Airport.

The strike also killed Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, the deputy commander of the Iran-backed militias in Iraq, the Popular Mobilization Forces, which presently stormed the US embassy in Baghdad.

Soleimani’s killing had sparked rumour of a third world war likely to start between the US and Iran.

Trump had revealed that Soleimani was plotting to kill lots of American citizens but was caught in the process.
