Iran warns 'finger on trigger' as Trump says Tehran wants talksListen to this articleIran's Revolutionary Guards Commander General Mohammad Pakpour warned that his forces were ready to fight any threatPARIS (FRANCE) - The commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guards warned Washington Thursday that the force had its "finger on the trigger" in the wake of mass protests, as US President Donald Trump said Tehran still appeared interested in talks. Trump said Thursday a US naval "armada" was heading toward the Gulf, adding: "We're watching Iran." The prospect of immediate American action against Tehran appears to have receded, with both sides insisting on giving diplomacy a chance. On his way back from the World Economic Forum in Davos, Trump told reporters on Air Force One the United States was sending a "massive fleet" toward Iran "just in case." The group is sanctioned as a terrorist entity by countries including Australia, Canada and the United States, and campaigners have long urged similar moves from the EU and UK.
