I mean, he could try, but that probably won't go so well for him. That's mighty strong talk from an awfully small man.

Go ahead punks, make our day.
To be clear: there are about 12 American warships near Iran and at least another 6 on the way. https://t.co/C1LxUnaF8G

If they know what is good for them.
🚨🚨Everyone is ignoring this, but we are literally inches away from a massive global conflict right now. Look at what the US military just deployed overnight 👇 https://t.co/TIDg1SHwWO

Typical Iran behavior.
Yeah, ummmm. That naval battle will last about 40 minutes. The war maybe two weeks. It’s the clean up we don’t have the stomach for.

How ironic. I have a feeling that aircraft from one of those aircraft carriers may sink their regime.

It's too bad the leaders of Iran don't have that kind of discernment. They just have a whole lot of bravado.
The only negotiation he knows.

I knew that evil old man wouldn’t stop blustering. I just hope cooler heads will have the last word.

Level Iran
The leaders of Iran have free will, but so does the United States.
China has flown in supplies and probably missiles. China needs Iran’s oil. We are

Going to find out if our technology is better than china’s. I think they might sink some of Our ships. 🚢 I have a bad
feeling about this.
Others are not so confident. They fear China has provided Iran with too much technology and this could get dangerous.
Why on earth would they mess with Trump? They’ve gotta know that this isn’t going to end well for them.

I pray Trump is just goading them into a move they’ll regret - then bust them wide open

This is result of showing weakness and favour a deal with terrorists. They must be taken out before it’s too late

Obama gave them way too much rope. Now, it seems they are set to hang themselves.
