One of Iran\u2019s most senior officials issued a direct threat against President Donald Trump<\/a> Thursday while warning that U.S. military action would provoke retaliation against American forces across the Middle East, according to Iranian media reports.<\/p>\n

The remarks came as well-placed sources confirmed to Fox News Digital at least one American aircraft carrier was being repositioned toward the Middle East<\/a> amid rising tensions with Tehran.<\/p>\n

Senior Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) general Mohsen Rezaei<\/a>, a member of Iran\u2019s Expediency Discernment Council, reportedly made his threat during a public address.<\/p>\n

“Trump has said his hand is on the trigger. We will cut off his hand and his finger,” Rezaei said, according to Iran International.<\/a><\/p>\n

The outlet also said that Rezaei maintained that Iran would abandon any notion of a ceasefire if attacked.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“If we move forward, there will be no talk of a ceasefire anymore,” he said. “You do not pay attention to the restraint and strategic patience we have shown. Stop right now. Step back, otherwise none of your bases in the region will be safe,” Rezaei added.<\/p>\n

The threat surfaced as at least one U.S. aircraft carrier<\/a> could be moving toward the Middle East, according to sources.<\/p>\n

Officials have not disclosed whether it is the USS Abraham Lincoln, currently operating in the South China Sea, or one of two carriers that departed Norfolk and San Diego earlier this week.<\/p>\n

Military sources said transit to the region could take at least a week, with additional U.S. air, land and sea assets expected to follow to provide Trump with military options should he order strikes against Iran.<\/p>\n

Rezaei is one of Iran\u2019s most powerful military figures. He served as commander-in-chief of the IRGC from 1980 to 1997 and is currently vice president for economic affairs, secretary of Iran\u2019s Supreme Council for Economic Coordination and a senior figure in the Principlist Resistance Front of Islamic Iran.<\/p>\n

In 2006, Argentine authorities issued an international arrest warrant for Rezaei in connection with the 1994 AMIA Jewish community center bombing in Buenos Aires. He was sanctioned by the U.S. Treasury in January 2020 under Executive Order 13876 for advancing Iran\u2019s destabilizing objectives.<\/p>\n

During his tenure, the IRGC expanded repression at home and supported terrorist proxy groups abroad, including Hezbollah.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, unrest inside Iran continued into its nineteenth day. According to the Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA), at least 2,677 arrests<\/a> have been recorded with 1,693 additional cases under investigation.<\/p>\n

Another agency also reported expanded communication blackouts, including the shutdown of landlines in some areas.<\/p>\n

“They are continuing as before, but not at the pace before the slaughter of thousands and the arrests,” Ali Safavi of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) told Fox News Digital, claiming as many as 50,000 detainees.<\/p>\n

“There is still a total shutdown of the internet. Security forces are raiding residential areas and going to people\u2019s rooftops. They started destroying satellite dishes,” Safavi said before describing clashes continuing through Wednesday night into Thursday in Tehran and Kermanshah, including gunfire.<\/p>\n

NCRI President-elect Maryam Rajavi<\/a> also urged the international community to act immediately to secure the release of detainees and demanded an urgent international fact-finding mission to Iran\u2019s prisons.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
