Trump was repeating comments made by National Security Adviser Michael Flynn.

Trump also tweeted, "Iran was on its last legs and ready to collapse until the US came along and gave it a life-line in the form of the Iran Deal: $150 billion."

Flynn said on Wednesday the "Obama administration failed to respond adequately to Tehran's malign actions" and put Iran "on notice," without elaborating on what actions may be taken.
