[Asia Economy Reporter Jin-gyu Lee] On the 4th (local time), U.S. President Donald Trump strongly warned against Iran's threats of retaliation against the U.S.

President Trump stated on Twitter that day, "Iran has been a problem for a long time," and added, "The U.S. has already designated 52 targets in Iran as attack points in case Iran attacks Americans or American assets."

He explained, "The significance of the 52 targets is that they represent the 52 Americans held hostage by Iran for a long time." He also said, "Some of the 52 attack targets are very important places to Iran and Iranian culture, and those targets will be hit very quickly and severely," emphasizing, "The U.S. no longer wants threats."

President Trump also referred to Soleimani as a "terrorist leader," criticizing, "Iran is shamelessly talking about targeting specific American assets in retaliation for the U.S. eliminating him." Earlier, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei issued an emergency statement on the 3rd after Soleimani's killing, stating, "Harsh retaliation awaits the criminals," and Iranian President Hassan Rouhani also warned, "We will retaliate against America's heinous crimes."

Meanwhile, President Trump also criticized the Democratic Party, which is pushing for his impeachment. He pointed out, "As much as I work hard, America has succeeded in the economy, the military, and everything else," and said, "It is shameful that the Democrats have spent so much time and money on a ridiculous impeachment scam."
