Trump’s stance: “I don’t care”
Amidst Iranian threats, Donald Trump has responded in his familiar style. In an interview with CBS News, he said that he was not concerned about Larijani’s threats. Trump said, “I don’t know who he (Larijani) is or what he’s saying. He’s already lost.” Trump also reiterated that Iran now has no option left but ‘unconditional surrender’.
Threat to regional stability
Experts believe that this ‘war of words’ going on from both sides can turn into a major ground war at any time. Larijani has also warned neighboring countries that if their lands are used against Iran, they too will be considered ‘legitimate targets’.
