You don't see it because Spoken(partial)Truth omitted a successive part of Rouhani's speech that turned that quoted part, just ambiguous if taken alone, into an explicit threat.

You want more?  I got you. 

The instigation came as Trump's administration has threatened to block Iranian oil exports via sanctions and has pressured Iran's oil import partners to stop using Iranian oil. 

Rouhani then retorted,

"America should know that peace with Iran is the mother of all peace, and war with Iran is the mother of all wars"
“You are not in a position to incite the Iranian nation against Iran’s security and interests”
"Anyone who understands the rudiments of politics doesn’t say ‘we will stop Iran’s oil exports’...we have been the guarantor of the regional waterway’s security throughout history”
“We have always guaranteed the security of this strait. Do not play with the lion’s tail, you will regret it forever"
"Whenever Europe has sought an agreement with us, the White House has sown discord."
"We must not think that the White House will remain forever at this level of opposition to international law."

Then Trump said:

"CONSEQUENCES THE LIKES OF WHICH FEW THROUGHOUT HISTORY HAVE EVER SUFFERED BEFORE. WE ARE NO LONGER A COUNTRY THAT WILL STAND FOR YOUR DEMENTED WORDS OF VIOLENCE & DEATH. BE CAUTIOUS!"

Trump withdrew from the deal on Iran nuclear program giving as reason that he and his counselors think the deal contains loopholes and it's not enough to prevent Iran from producing nukes and threatened Iran with sanctions, as an answer Rouhani made an almost explicit threat of war against USA, that's a provocation quite stronger than sanctions, and it suggests that not just Trump, but anybody else not believing Iran really has peaceful intentions could be not so wrong or that at least Iran is trying to look ready to use military force. Trump could be wrong, he could be too harsh and unreasonable, but ayatollahs and Iranian politicians closest to them, like Rouhani, still use a rhetoric very aggressive towards USA. You could say it's just rhetoric, but in this case you should say the same for Trump. Anyhow, I guess we'll know more soon, as if USA allies still remain satisfied with the current nuclear deal, he'll have to either present them proofs of  attempts of nuclear proliferation by Iran, or backpedal.
