General Gholam Ali Abdollahi, commander of Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, said in a statement that Iranian armed forces personnel are at high readiness, with a 'finger on the trigger', and prepared to strike at the heart of the enemy, according to reports.
General Gholam Ali Abdollahi, commander of Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, issued a statement Sunday evening declaring that Iranian forces have their 'finger on the trigger' and are prepared to strike at the heart of the enemy, as reported by the Abu Ali Express outlet. The statement joins a thread of escalating rhetoric from the same command: The desk first reported the statement at 19:52 Jerusalem (version 1), attributing it to the headquarters generally. Minutes later, at 19:52, the drafter identified General Ali Abdollahi as the commander (versions 2–3), and subsequent versions refined the wording to include 'finger on the trigger' and references to a 'historic settling of accounts' and 'liberating Jerusalem.' The current version is the first from an outlet outside the Iranian state media sphere, but remains attributed to a single source.
The statement's antecedents include a June 13 bulletin in which General Abdollahi was quoted by Iranian state media vowing that 'the world will soon hear the echo of our victory and resistance against the enemy.' On June 9, the desk reported that the Iranian parliament's National Security spokesperson Ebrahim Rezaee said the military was at 'the highest level of readiness' with a 'decisive response' warning. Earlier today, at 11:39, the IRGC political affairs deputy Brigadier General Yadollah Jovani threatened a 'decisive response' — all of which are background items published by The Zioneer.
As The Zioneer has previously outlined in its topic explainers, the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters is Iran's supreme unified military command, responsible for operational coordination between the IRGC and the regular military. The current statement offers no specific target, timeline, or new operational alert.
What remains open: the statement has not been independently corroborated by a second source, and it repeats a well-established threat trope without new tactical content. No independent verification of troop movements or elevated alert levels exists at this time.
