Iran warns US that Tehran's 'fingers on trigger'

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned Wednesday that its forces would respond forcefully to any U.S. military operation -- but did not rule out a new deal on Tehran's nuclear program.

"Our brave Armed Forces are prepared -- with their fingers on the trigger -- to immediately and powerfully respond to ANY aggression against our beloved land, air, and sea," he posted on X.

"At the same time, Iran has always welcomed a mutually beneficial, fair and equitable NUCLEAR DEAL -- on equal footing, and free from coercion, threats, and intimidation -- which ensures Iran's rights to PEACEFUL nuclear technology, and guarantees NO NUCLEAR WEAPONS."
