President Donald Trump has warned Tehran that the U.S. will target 52 Iranian sites if Iran attacks Americans in the wake of the killing of a top Iranian general. “Let this serve as a WARNING that if Iran strikes any Americans, or American assets, we have targeted 52 Iranian sites (representing the 52 American hostages taken by Iran many years ago),” Trump tweeted Saturday. He described some of those targets as being “at a very high level & important to Iran & the Iranian culture.” The purported targets, Trump added, “WILL BE HIT VERY FAST AND VERY HARD.
