President Donald Trump continued his combativeness towards Iran, tweeting early Friday morning that the country is “playing with fire.”

“Iran is playing with fire - they don't appreciate how ‘kind’ President Obama was to them. Not me!” the president tweeted a little before 6:30 a.m. It was just one of a series of tweets the president posted Friday that ranged in topic from meetings with business leaders to his “Celebrity Apprentice” replacement and former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.


His threat against Iran Friday is in keeping with his ongoing condemnation of the country and the deals former President Barack Obama’s administration cut with it. It also extends his wildly unpredictable approach to foreign policy – which this week was shown in media reports on his private calls with the president of Mexico and prime minister of Australia.

On Thursday, Trump tweeted early in the morning that “Iran has been formally PUT ON NOTICE for firing a ballistic missile. Should have been thankful for the terrible deal the U.S. made with them!”

That was essentially repeating the views of is National Security Adviser, Michael Flynn, who earlier this week also said that Iran was on notice after the country conducted a missile test.
