Ali Akbar Velayati, a senior advisor to Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, issued a warning Wednesday that the 'axis of resistance' will not stay silent and that the 'finger is on the trigger,' according to a report by Channel 12. Velayati's comments are the latest in a series of public warnings from Iranian officials. The Zioneer has previously reported on threats from other senior Iranian figures, including Supreme Leader advisor Mohsen Rezaei and security official Ali Akbar Ahmadian. The statement underscores continued Iranian rhetorical escalation amid high regional tensions, particularly following recent US-Iran military exchanges. The threat from Velayati, a former foreign minister, carries weight given his close ties to Khamenei.
