Iran rejects Trump's 'helpless, nervous, unbalanced' threats

Iran’s central military command has rejected a threat from Donald Trump to destroy the country’s infrastructure if it does not accept a peace deal within 48 hours.

General Ali Abdollahi Aliabadi, speaking from the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, dismissed the warning as "a helpless, nervous, unbalanced and stupid action".

He also issued a stark warning in response, saying that "the simple meaning of this message is that the gates of hell will open for you".
