The US military is hit by over 5000 #covid19 infections. @realdonaldtrump should attend to their needs, not engage in threats cheered on by Saddam's terrorists.

In a relevant development, the Spokesman of the Iranian Armed Forces Brigadier General Abolfazl Shekarchi also reacted to US President Donald Trump’s so-called threat, stressing that today the Americans should do their best to save their forces, who have developed COVID-19, instead of bullying for other states.  

Foreign Minister and other Iranian political and military figures' reaction, came as the US President Donald Trump tweeted that he had instructed the United States Navy to shoot down and destroy any and all Iranian gunboats if they harass the US ships at sea.

I have instructed the United States Navy to shoot down and destroy any and all Iranian gunboats if they harass our ships at sea.
