25. Threats like this are a form of "abuse". (I don't know if they meet the war crime level)

Why are they abuse? They scare people, they frighten people. He's like the abusive spouse. He's doing alot of this for attention. He gets the whole country worked up. Everyone is talking about him non-stop. That's what he wants.

As for Iran, I don't know what type of internet servcies they have and I don't know how much the average citizen knew.

The rulers in Iran knew it wasn't going to happen. The govt of Iran pretty much says the same threatening shit back.
