Washington: Amidst a fast American military build-up in the Middle East, US President Donald Trump Monday warned Iran against any misadventure.
"We'll see what happens with Iran. If they do anything, it would be a very bad mistake," Trump told reporters at his Oval Office of the White House.
He was responding to questions on US military build-up against Iran and if he was at war with Tehran.
"I'm hearing little stories about Iran. If they do anything, they will suffer greatly. We'll see what happens with Iran," Trump said, as his Secretary of State Mike Pompeo stopped in Brussels to brief NATO allies on the latest developments with regard to Iran.
Pompeo cancelled his scheduled trip to Moscow on Monday to make an unannounced visit to Brussels.
"The secretary shared information and intelligence with allies and discussed the multiple plot vectors emerging from Iran. We know that Europe shares our concerns about stability in the Gulf and in the Middle East," Special US Representative for Iran Brian Hook told travelling American press in Brussels.
Pompeo, he said, had always been diligent about sharing information with allies as threats to peace and security warrant.
