President Donald Trump issued an existential threat to Iran over the weekend that appeared to have been prompted by a Fox News report.


Trump tweeted out the threat at 4:25 p.m. Sunday, minutes after Fox News aired a report on escalating tensions between the U.S. and Iran.

That tweet came nine minutes after a Fox News report warning of potentially dire consequences if the U.S. backed down.
