Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad-Javad Zarif warned US President Donald Trump against playing with fire, and said that any fireworks will backfire badly.


New intelligence from Iraq indicate that Israeli agent-provocateurs are plotting attacks against Americans�putting an outgoing Trump in a bind with a fake casus belli,� Zarif wrote.

�Be careful of a trap, @realDonaldTrump,� he added.

�Any fireworks will backfire badly, particularly against your same BFFs.�

Earlier on Thursday, Zarif had written in a Twitter message, �Instead of fighting Covid in US, @realDonaldTrump & cohorts waste billions to fly B52s & send armadas to OUR region.�

"Intelligence from Iraq indicate plot to FABRICATE pretext for war,� the top Iranian diplomat warned.

�Iran doesn't seek war, but will OPENLY & DIRECTLY defend its people, security & vital interests.�
