President Donald Trump has issued his latest threat to Iran.

During an Oct. 9 interview with The Rush Limbaugh Show, Trump said, “Iran knows that and they’ve been put on notice: If you f— around with us, if you do something bad to us, we are going to do things to you that have never been done before.”

According to Politico, the “f—” was bleeped out on radio syndicates due to the radio broadcast delay, but the uncensored footage was unearthed and has since gone viral on social media.

Trump also said during the interview that he would forge a new nuclear deal with Iran if he wins re-election in November. The Trump administration exited from the Iran nuclear deal in 2018 and has since implemented sanctions on the Iranian government, including new sanctions on Oct. 8 against 18 Iranian banks. Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin said at the time that the administration will continue sanctioning Iran until it “stops its support of terrorist activities and ends its nuclear programs.”

“You don’t see the terror the way you used to see the terror,” Trump said in the radio interview. “And they know if they do anything against us, they’ll pay a thousand-fold.”
