In a late-night Twitter rant, President Donald Trump issued an all-caps threat to Iranian President Hassan Rouhani. The threat came after Rouhani urged Trump not to “play with the lion’s tail or else you will regret it.”

“You cannot provoke the Iranian people against their own security and interests,” Rouhani said later in his speech.

“To Iranian President Rouhani: NEVER, EVER THREATEN THE UNITED STATES AGAIN OR YOU WILL SUFFER CONSEQUENCES THE LIKES OF WHICH FEW THROUGHOUT HISTORY HAVE EVER SUFFERED BEFORE. WE ARE NO LONGER A COUNTRY THAT WILL STAND FOR YOUR DEMENTED WORDS OF VIOLENCE & DEATH. BE CAUTIOUS!” Trump tweeted.
