UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - Iran alerted the United Nations on Tuesday to what it described as "reckless and inflammatory statements" by U.S. President Donald Trump threatening the use of force, and warned that "any act of aggression will have severe consequences."
In a letter to the U.N. Security Council, seen by Reuters, Iran's U.N. Ambassador Amir Saeid Iravani referenced remarks made by Trump in interviews with the New York Post and Fox News, in which he spoke of a preference to do a deal to stop Tehran getting a nuclear weapon over bombing the country.
