Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has threatened the European troops stationed in the region.
“Today, the American soldier is in danger, tomorrow the European soldier could be in danger,” the Iranian leader warned on Wednesday.
Rouhani was referring to the attacks on the U.S. bases in Iraq following the recent killing of Qassem Soleimani, Iran’s chief terror operative, in an American drone strike early January. Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei declared “jihad” to avenge the slain terrorist.
The first casualty of the jihad was the civilian Ukrainian jetliner. Tehran pinned the blame for downing the plane that killed 176 passengers on board on a “human error,” after efforts to hide its guilt failed.
The news website Times of Israel reported Rouhani’s comments:
Rouhani, repeatedly described by the New York Times and other liberal news outlets as the “moderate” voice of the regime, has a history of bullying the Europeans. He previously threatened to flood Europe with drugs and immigrants if the European Union leaders failed to deliver the economic perks promised under the Obama-Kerry deal.....snip~

The Iranian Slug knows he can threaten the Europeans and that they will do nothing but grab their ankles bending over. Especially Macron of France.
