Trump warns of "disproportionate" response if Iran strikes US targets

The US will quickly strike back, “perhaps in a disproportionate manner”, if Iran strikes any American person or target, Donald Trump said.

“These Media Posts will serve as notification to the United States Congress that should Iran strike any U.S. person or target, the United States will quickly & fully strike back, & perhaps in a disproportionate manner. Such legal notice is not required, but is given nevertheless!”, - wrote Trump on Twitter.

American forces on Friday killed Iranian military commander Qassem Soleimani, fueling anti-American protests across Iran and ratcheting up tensions between the two longtime adversaries.
