Trump is REALLY pissed about the mines being laid in the Strait of Hormuz.
It's only a matter of time before he does something REALLY dumb.
Like put troops on the ground.

They have hundreds of these small boats. There is no logistical way that we get them all before a few hundred mines are set. https://t.co/V9trzxqcjY

But the regime’s security chief Ali Larijani dismissed Mr Trump’s comments, claiming Iran ‘is not afraid of your empty threats’.
He added: ‘Even those greater than you could not eliminate the Iranian nation. Take care of yourself not to be eliminated!’
The US President previously warned Iran their Supreme Leader would ‘not last long if he doesn’t get approval from us.
‘We want to make sure that we don’t have to go back every 10 years, when you don’t have a president like me that’s not going to do it.’
Mojtaba, 56, the second son of the late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was confirmed as the country’s new leader on Sunday after being appointed by the regime’s 88-person assembly.
