(CNN) — An Iranian commander on Wednesday issued a warning that “our finger is always on the trigger” after Iran test-fired a long-range missile in response to what they perceive as threats from Israel and the United States. The forces of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps test-fired a Shahab-3 missile and several other missiles during war games in the Persian Gulf called the Great Prophet III, Iranian officials and media and U.S. sources confirmed. The exercises come a month after Israel conducted a military drill in the eastern Mediterranean involving dozens of warplanes and aerial tanks. |
