Iran unveils mural emblazoned with ominous threat to the US | News World
Iran has issued a threat to the US if it decides to launch military strikes: ‘You will reap the whirlwind’.
A giant mural has been unveiled in Revolution Square in central Tehran emblazoned with the flight deck of a damaged aircraft carrier in the style of the American flag.
But it carries the ominous message: ‘If you sow the wind, you will reap the whirlwind’.
It appears to be a reference to the arrival of the USS Abraham Lincoln and guided-missile destroyers arriving in the region in the coming days.
WTX News reported how the nation’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, has already been moved to a high-security underground bunker.
