Yasmin Ansari, a member of the US House of Representatives of Iranian origin, said in response to Donald Trump's repeated threat to "destroy Iran": "He has again threatened to destroy a country with a population of 90 million. This is a crime against humanity. Having regained control of the House and Senate, Democrats must act urgently to end Trump's war and self-recklessness."
