“Finger on the Trigger” Iran Says, Military on Full Alert

Iran is on high alert, with its military “finger on the trigger” ready to respond to any US attack, according to Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi. At the same time, Araghchi left open the possibility of negotiations on Tehran's nuclear program, emphasizing the desire for a mutually beneficial agreement. These statements come after warnings from Iranian officials of retaliation in the event of US military action, as well as the deployment of significant US forces to the Middle East, including an aircraft carrier and accompanying ships. Former President Trump had threatened to attack Iran, but appeared to change his mind.
