Navy has chosen the name ‘Economic Wrath’ for its operations against Iranian ships, aimed at forcing Iran to fully open the Strait of Hormuz<\/b>.” The same report said that “the scope of this operation will extend beyond the Middle East.”<\/p>\n“The US military is preparing to board Iran-linked oil tankers and sixteen commercial ships in international waters<\/b> in the coming days,” the Wall Street Journal reported, citing US officials.<\/p>\n
Previously, the Associated Press reported that “the carrier ‘USS Gerald R. Ford’<\/b> and its accompanying strike group returned to Middle East<\/b> after leaving the region for maintenance and is currently operating in the Red Sea.”<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, some 342 merchant ships remain stranded in the Persian Gulf and cannot cross the Strait of Hormuz. Earlier today, Donald Trump<\/b> advised that “the Iran cannot blackmail the US<\/b>“. All this as the ceasefire expires next Wednesday. <\/p>\n
Note that three oil tankers<\/b> came under fire from Iran today, one flagged Britain <\/b>and two flagged India<\/b>. <\/p>\n
