After Iran unceremoniously slammed the door on diplomacy, President Trump has decided to tweet his perspective on what happens next.
Trump began by going after the statement from Iranian leadership, blasting that they don’t “understand the words “nice” or “compassion,” they never have,” adding some threats: “Sadly, the thing they do understand is Strength and Power, and the USA is by far the most powerful Military Force in the world, with 1.5 Trillion Dollars invested over the last two years alone…”

Then Trump turned to the Iranian people, who are suffering due to his economic war being waged by sanctions: “….The wonderful Iranian people are suffering, and for no reason at all.

But he saved the best for last, unleashing a ‘sound-and-fury’-esque warning that ”

Finally, Trump took a shot at the previous administration, who he blames for creating this mess (and argues still interfere):
“No more John Kerry & Obama!”
