As reports of an emerging US-Iran agreement circulate, an Iranian official has warned that the country's forces 'will always keep their finger on the trigger,' according to a message from journalist Miki Levi (N12). The statement underscores persistent mistrust between Tehran and Washington despite President Trump's claim that a deal has been reached in principle.
An Iranian official warned that the country's forces 'will always keep their finger on the trigger,' according to a message from journalist Miki Levi (N12) circulated early Friday morning. The statement comes as reports of an emerging US-Iran agreement continue to generate conflicting signals from Washington and Tehran.
As The Zioneer reported on June 11, President Trump announced late Wednesday that an 'excellent settlement' ending the war with Iran had been agreed in principle. However, Tehran has consistently denied any deal, with IRGC statements rejecting the claims. This latest warning from an unnamed Iranian official reinforces that posture, suggesting the Islamic Republic views any agreement with deep suspicion and is maintaining readiness for military action.
The remark follows a pattern of Iranian officials mocking Trump's announcement. Another Iranian statement earlier in the week asserted that Trump 'surrendered to Iranian missiles,' as The Zioneer reported. A commentator on a curated Israeli channel argued that Trump is prematurely celebrating a deal while Tehran denies it and reportedly prepares strikes — an assessment consistent with this latest warning.
Israel's political establishment has reacted cautiously. Prime Minister Netanyahu responded to reports of the emerging deal on June 12, though the content of his statement was not disclosed. Other Israeli politicians have called any potential deal a 'total victory for the ayatollahs.' The Trump administration continues to maintain a naval presence near the Strait of Hormuz, and no formal signing has been confirmed.
