Did Iran threaten war with US and what does Trump’s reaction mean?

Relations between Washington and Tehran have soured even further after US president Donald Trump unleashed an overnight Twitter tirade intended for Iranian president Hassan Rouhani. Mr Trump’s remarks came after a speech from his Iranian counterpart who warned that “America must understand well that peace with Iran is the mother of all peace, and war with Iran is the mother of all wars”. The war of words is a marked escalation in hostile rhetoric between the two leaders at a time of increased tensions over the fate of the 2015 Iran nuclear deal as well as Tehran’s role in the conflicts in Syria and Yemen.
