IFP - A senior advisor to the Iranian president says the biggest threat to the US is not Iran but its own president whose job is to �sell lies� and �bully� other people.


�[Donald] Trump is wrong! Iran is no threat to the US nation,� tweeted Hesamoddin Ashna.

�Today, the biggest threat to the US is its president. Someone whose job is to sell lies and bully [others] is a danger not just to the US people but also to the international community,� he noted.

�People have sensed this danger,� Ashna wrote.

The remarks came as Iranian officials are scrambling to respond to Trump who late Sunday threatened Iran with �consequences the likes of which few throughout history have ever suffered before� if it �threatens� the US.

Since starting his political career, the businessman-turned-politician Trump has been accused of making up lies prolifically.

According to a Washington Post report, Trump has made 2,140 false or misleading claims during his first year in office, an average of 5.9 a day.
