In a Twitter message on Friday, he wrote "It is beneath the dignity of Iranian president to threaten the life of a foreign counterpart. Unlike US regime, Iran does not threaten, nor does it assassinate foreign leaders. President Rouhani clearly said "very soon Mr. Trump’s POLITICAL life will be over."
Rouhani, in a speech on Thursday, likened his US counterpart Donald Trump to former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein and said "history will remember him as a "man without dignity".
Rouhani indicated that Saddam imposed a war on Iran for 8 years, but then he fell and left, adding: "Trump also imposed an economic war on us for 3 years, and his political life will end in the coming weeks as well, and history will remember him as a person without dignity."
