Speaking with CNN's Wolf Blitzer on Monday morning, Max Boot comments on the president's threat to Iran, tweeted at 11:30 p.m. Sunday night in response to comments from the Iranian president.















But I agree with what was said, I don't think he is really planning to attack Iran. I think this is really a ploy to distract attention from the horrible publicity he got from his subservience to Russia. But this really also underlines just how extraordinary his conduct towards Putin here.



Look what he is doing here, he is threatening Rouhani with death and 'consequences no one has ever seen before,' and what did Rouhani do? He gave a speech where he said if the U.S. attacks Iran it will be the mother of all wars. And likewise, if the U.S> makes peace with Iran, it will be the mother of all peace. This wasn't an attack on the U.S., it was just rhetoric. Whereas Vladimir Putin is actually attacking the U.S., and Trump has nothing to say about that.
