I don't see saber-rattling.
Saber-rattling to me would be if President Obama instead said, "Hey Listen Iran, and listen good, if you don't stop right now, we are sending in the military for action". A threat of Military action could be argued as saber-rattling. You predicted this Executive Order last year? That's what the OP is about.
