Iranian FM: Tehran is 'Finger on the Trigger'

The head of Iranian diplomacy, Abbas Araghchi, warned that the country's army is ready to respond to any US attack, while at the same time leaving open the possibility of negotiations on the nuclear program. The warning comes at a time of heightened tension, with the US having deployed significant military forces in the region, including an aircraft carrier. An advisor to Iran's Supreme Religious Leader, Ali Shamkhani, threatened that Iran would target the US, Israel and their allies in the event of an attack. President Trump had previously threatened military action against Iran, but appears to have adopted a more restrained stance.
