Iran Warns “trump Could Trigger World War Three And The Destruction Of Israel

Trump has threatened to rip up the nuclear deal with Iran…..
Donald Trump’s election could trigger World War Three, Iran’s defence minister has warned.
Speaking at a security conference, Hossein Dehghan said that a war would end up destroying Israel and the small Gulf Arab states such as the UAE, including Dubai, and Qatar.

Enemies may want to impose a war on us based on false calculations and only taking into consideration their material capabilities…’ news agency Mehr quoted defence minister Dehghan as telling a security conference in Tehran.
‘Such a war would mean the destruction of the Zionist regime (Israel) … and will engulf the whole region and could lead to a world war.’
The President Elect has threatened to tear up the nuclear pact struck by Barack Obama aimed at stopping Iran developing nuclear weapons, which he called ‘the worst deal ever negotiated’.
He has threatened to take a harder line on Iran, going back on the commitments reached in the previous administration – and it’s causing unease in Tehran.
‘Considering Trump’s character and that he measures the cost of everything in dollars, it does not seem likely that he would take strong action against our country,’ Dehghan said.
‘Even though a businessman, the assistants that … (Trump) has chosen may map a different path for him, and this has led to unease, particularly among Persian Gulf countries.’
Speculating on the consequences of US military action against the country, he said: ‘Among other consequences of the war, would be the destruction of the city-states on the southern shore of the Persian Gulf, because they lack popular support.’
Gulf states such as the UAE, Bahrain and Qatar are Western allies, on the opposite side of Iran in Middle East conflicts.
Iran, an arch-enemy of Israel, supports President Bashar al-Assad in Syria’s civil war and backs the armed Houthi movement fighting against a Saudi Arabian coalition in Yemen.
It isn’t only Iran worried about the consequences if Trump goes back on the deal. Outgoing CIA director John Brennan warned last month that Trump’s opposition to the pact was the ‘height of folly’, and that even if he did want to change it, it would be very difficult to persuade countries such as France and Germany to re-introduce sanctions.
