Reuters, Feb 2, 2017 – U.S. President Donald Trump said in a tweet on Thursday that ‘Iran was on its last legs and ready to collapse until the U.S. came along and gave it a life-line in the form of the Iran Deal: $150 billion’ Trump has frequently criticized the Iran nuclear deal, calling the agreement weak and ineffective.
The early morning Twitter post also said: ‘[Iran] should have been thankful for the terrible deal the U.S. made with them!’
‘Iran has been put formally put on notice’ for firing a ballistic missile, after his administration said on Wednesday it was reviewing how to respond to the launch.
