Iran warned the United States not to make a “miscalculation” again, ensuring that its Armed Forces have “their finger on the trigger” to respond “quickly, firmly and powerfully” to any new aggression, after Donald Trump postponed an imminent attack against the Persian country.

“We warn the United States and its allies not to make a strategic or calculation error again,” warned the commander of the General Jatam al Anbiya Headquarters, Major General Ali Abdollahi, in a statement collected by the Tasnim agency, linked to the Revolutionary Guard.

The senior military official maintained that the Islamic Republic and its Armed Forces are in a position of greater military preparation compared to the past.

His statements came after US President Donald Trump said on Monday that he had postponed for “a short period of time” an attack on Iran scheduled for this Tuesday, in order to give room for negotiations, after his Arab allies asked him to delay it “two or three days.”

On his Truth Social network, Trump warned that, despite the postponement, he has ordered military commanders to be “prepared for a full-scale attack on Iran at any time, in the event that an acceptable agreement is not reached.”

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Ismail Bagaei said on Monday that peace negotiations with the United States were continuing by exchanging proposals through Pakistan, and that Tehran had provided its response to Washington's latest considerations.

Negotiations between Washington and Tehran to end the war started on February 28 by the United States and Israel have not advanced since their beginning, on April 11 in Islamabad, due to differences especially around the Iranian nuclear program and the situation in the Strait of Hormuz.
