Spicer: ‘There’s more to come’ if Iran keeps ‘playing with fire’

Published February 3, 2017 11:50pm ET



White House press secretary Sean Spicer on Friday said “there’s no question” that Iran’s two recent ballistic missile tests were done to provoke the U.S. to learn how different the Trump and Obama administrations will respond to their defiant actions.

“Iran should not be provoking us. They got a sweetheart deal. They’re getting a lot from the United States. And I think the United States needs to make sure that they understand that if they act out of provisions of the agreement, that we are going to act,” Spicer told MSNBC host Greta Van Susteren. “I think Iran’s going to feel the might of the sanctions, and if they continue to act so, I think the president’s been very clear that there’s more to come and they’re playing with fire.”
