President Donald Trump has warned Iran that he will wipe the country off the face of the Earth if its regime follows through on any of its threats against him.

When asked in an interview with News Nation on Jan. 20 about his response to the Islamic Republic’s continued taunts and threats against him, Trump said he had left a notification that if anything were to happen to him, “the whole country is going to get blown up.”
