The Iranian muslim Revolutionary defender Corps (IRGC) is ready with a "finger on the trigger" to repel any aggression from the US or Israel, warned its commander, General Mohammad Pakpour. This occurred shortly after Tehran succeeded in suppressing the mass protests for weeks.
Riots broke out in late December due to rising inflation and the collapse of national currency, rapidly turning into violent riots accompanied by political demands.
According to the Iranian authorities, at least 3,000 people died as a consequence of weeks of violence, and Tehran accuses the US and Israel of inciting riots.
U.S. president Donald Trump repeatedly threatened Tehran, saying at any point to Iranian demonstrators that "Help is on the way".
Pakpour announced that in the event of an attack, Tehran's opponents would bear ‘painful’ consequences from Iranian forces, as reported on Saturday by the Nournews portal. The General besides warned the US and Israel against ‘any miscalculation’ and promised to cook a “painful and pitiful fate” to any possible aggressor.
He stressed that the muslim Revolutionary defender Corps is ‘more ready than ever, with a finger on the trigger“ to defend Iran.
After repeated threats of utilizing force against Iran, president Trump seemed to ease his rhetoric a bit last weekend, claiming that ‘convinced’ himself, however, not to attack this country.
This remark came after respective reports suggesting an imminent U.S. military attack on the muslim Republic.
However, in an interview with journalists on Friday Trump stated that he inactive carefully ‘Watch’ The situation in the country.
"We have a immense fleet heading that way... and we may not gotta usage it... we have many ships heading that way, just in case" - said the president of the United States.
The Pentagon has not issued an authoritative statement, but many media reports indicate that a group of aircraft carriers commanded by the USS Abraham Lincoln is heading to the mediate East from the South China Sea.
