Iranian Presidential Adviser Tweets Locations Of Trump’s Properties: ‘Our Sole Problem Is Trump’ Not ‘American People’
An adviser to Iranian President Hassan Rouhani appeared to cryptically suggest that President Trump’s properties could be potential targets in retaliation for the US targeted killing of Iranian general Qassem Soleimani.

Hesameddin Ashena, who is an adviser to Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, tweeted a link this Saturday to a Forbes article that lists dozens of President Trump’s properties in America and Europe.
The list included the Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, where the president was staying when he ordered the airstrike on Soleimani, as well as the Trump International Hotels in Washington and Las Vegas and his New York tower with its Fifth Avenue entrance.

In a tweet the following day, Ashena clarified that the Iranian regime has “ZERO problems with the American people.”
“We even achieved deals with previous US administrations,” he wrote. “Our sole problem is Trump. In the event of war, it is he who will bear full responsibility.”

The tweets followed President Trump’s warning to Iran on Saturday that a strike on “any Americans” or “American assets” by the country would result in the US hitting 52 targets — including “Iranian culture” sites, an action that could amount to a war crime if carried out.
Trump warned in a tweet that the United States has prepared a list of 52 Iranian sites and is prepared to strike “very fast and very hard” if Tehran retaliates for the killing of Gen. Qassem Soleimani this week.
“Iran has been nothing but problems for many years,” Trump tweeted after spending a day at his golf club. “Let this serve as a WARNING that if Iran strikes any Americans, or American assets, we have targeted 52 Iranian sites… some at a very high level & important to Iran & the Iranian culture, and those targets, and Iran itself, WILL BE HIT VERY FAST AND VERY HARD. The USA wants no more threats!”
Speaking to the crowds, Soleimani’s daughter Zeinab declared that “families of U.S. soldiers in the Middle East will spend their days waiting for the death of their children.”
