“President Trump on Wednesday said that Iran may be planning a “sneak attack” on American troops in Iraq. He warned that, should this come to pass, it will come with a “heavy price” for Iran.

The president’s warning on Twitter comes amid continued tensions with Iran over military confrontations beginning in January – most recently the Soleimani birthday attack in which two American troops and one British soldier were killed,” reports Just the News.

Upon information and belief, Iran or its proxies are planning a sneak attack on U.S. troops and/or assets in Iraq. If this happens, Iran will pay a very heavy price, indeed!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 1, 2020

The President addressed this intel and potential for action in the briefing that took place on April 1, 2020, which included his Secretary of Defense Mark Esper and the Join Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley. Pray for protection for our troops who are serving abroad at this time–particularly in hot zones such as Iraq.

The New York Post reports “Trump’s tweet came as both countries were struggling to contain the coronavirus outbreak.

Iran has 47,593 cases and 3,036 deaths to date.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said late last month that Iran had rejected offers of US aid to combat the pandemic.

Pompeo also ­condemned Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei for promulgating conspiracy theories that the United States was responsible for the outbreak, and pointed out Iran’s own misdeeds that he claimed exacerbated the spread of the virus.

“The U.S. has offered $100M+ in medical aid to other nations—including Iran—and our scientists are working 24/7 to develop a vaccine. @khamenei_ir has rejected American offers and spends 24/7 concocting conspiracy theories. How does that help the Iranian people?” Pompeo tweeted, ­referring to Khamenei.”
