Iran: Our finger is always on the nuclear trigger

Iran tested a long range missile in response to what they perceived as the Israeli and American threat. This could potentially escalate to a much worser degree further increasing concerns of Iran and its intentions with its possible nuclear capability.

An Iranian commander issued the warning that "our finger is always on the trigger." The general of the "Revolutionary Guard Corps" of Iran was the one who made this statement. Astonishingly he warned that this action is taken against anyone who conducts foreign policy against Iran when they themselves are attempting to make nuclear weapons when their president has claimed in the past that he would like to have Israel wiped off the map of the world.

As bad as it sounds the general's comments didn't come without provocation though, an Israel conducted aerial runs in the Eastern middle east which were made to look as if they are a warning that Israel may take preemptive action against Iran if need be. The missiles were tested to show that Israel has ranged weapons that are war-capable and can hit with accuracy. Iran has previously conducted missile attacks but this one made the news big time because there is a lot of news about which way Iran's (the only theocracy's) nuclear program may be headed
