Iran will respond to the US "threats" on Friday's anniversary of the 1979 revolution, Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said.
"No enemy can paralyze the Iranian nation. (Trump) says 'you should be afraid of me'. No! The Iranian people will respond to his words on Feb. 10 and will show their stance against such threats," Reuters cited Khamenei as saying.
"We are thankful to (Trump) for making our life easy as he showed the real face of America," Khamenei told a meeting of military commanders in Tehran, according to his website.
Trump responded to a Jan. 29 Iranian missile test by saying "Iran is playing with fire" and slapping fresh sanctions on individuals and entities, some of them linked to Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards.
The White House said the test was not a direct breach of a 2015 nuclear deal with six world powers but "violates the spirit of that". A U.N. Security Council resolution underpinning the pact urges Iran to refrain from testing missiles designed to be able to carry nuclear warheads, but imposes no obligation.
