Top Iranian military commander says forces have ‘finger on the trigger’

A top Iranian military commander says Tehran’s forces have their “finger on the trigger,” threatening to attack Israel if it makes “the slightest slip.”

“Our combat, defensive, missile, naval, drone, and air defense capabilities are more powerful than ever before and, under the command of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, His Eminence Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Hosseini Khamenei, may his sublimity endure, have been elevated—and the sons of the nation in the armed forces are ‘finger on the trigger,’ ready to fire into the heart of the enemy,” Major General Ali Abdollahi, commander of Iran’s top joint military command, Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, writes on X

“The sacred aspiration to conquer Jerusalem and avenge the blood of the martyred Imam will never be forgotten; we are awaiting the slightest slip from the aggressor enemy to deliver an unforgettable and conclusive lesson to them,” he adds.
