American response: .

” Iranians have experienced our power in the past and must learn from it.”

“Iran has summoned the Swiss ambassador in Tehran, who represents US interests in the country”

How does the Swiss ambassador represent US interests in Iran?

What interests in Iran do “we” have?

Does SwissyA work for HeinzKerryCo?

Iran warned it will destroy US warships if its security is threatened in the Gulf, the head of Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards told state TV on Thursday, a day after US President Donald Trump warned Tehran over "harassment" of US vessels.

That guy might want to start looking over his shoulder and above when he goes outside............

Do tell, Salami, do tell.

Maybe Salami should ask Soleimani what time it is?

What it means is since we have not had an embassy in Iran since their revolution , the Swiss embassy serves as a point of contact.

"Americans have experienced our power in the past and must learn from it."

I assume the power he is referring to is the taking of our Embassy personnel under the nose of a weak kneed president who didn't have a clue of what to do.

There is a new competent US President today, who will enforce the US rights under International Law. You, Iran, must learn from it. It would be best if you did not experience the shock and awe of our power. You may well have a "We ain't doin' that again." moment.

When two nations do not have diplomatic relations, a third neutral country will act as a go between. There is nothing new here.

“In the absence of diplomatic or consular relations of the United States of America with the Islamic Republic of Iran, the Swiss government, acting through its Embassy in Tehran, serves as the Protecting Power of the USA in Iran since 21 May 1980. The Swiss Embassy’s Foreign Interests Section provides consular services to U.S. citizens living in or travelling to Iran.”

Is that something else Obama never told us about?

Iran, whose military fought Saddam Hussein’s Iraq for 8 years and could not get a single dent. The same Iraq that took us only two weeks to completely destroy. Who is this bozo kidding?
