A report in the <b>Wall Street Journal<\/b> said that &#8220;<b>the US Navy has chosen the name &#8216;Economic Wrath&#8217; for its operations against Iranian ships, aimed at forcing Iran to fully open the Strait of Hormuz<\/b>.&#8221; The same report states that &#8220;the scope of this operation will extend beyond the <b>Middle East<\/b>.<\/p>\n<h3>Warnings from the Revolutionary Guards<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;<b>If the current war continues, it could turn into a world war<\/b>,&#8221; said <b>General Nagdi<\/b>, an adviser to the Commander-in-Chief of the <b>Revolutionary Guards<\/b> Corps.   &#8220;Claims that Iran has exhausted its missiles or cannot build more are just miscalculations,&#8221; he stressed. &#8220;<b>Tehran will launch missiles built this month in case the conflict resumes<\/b>,&#8221; General Nagdi warned. <\/p>\n<h3>About the Strait of Hormuz<\/h3>\n<p>Meanwhile, the Revolutionary Guards in a newest message about the Strait of Hormuz said: &#8220;We warn <b>all types of ships not to make any movement <\/b>from their berths in the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman.&#8221; &#8220;<b>We affirm that approaching the Strait of Hormuz will be considered cooperation with the enemy and the ship violating the blockade will be targeted<\/b>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In the same message, the Revolutionary Guards said: &#8220;Yesterday, ships sailed through the Strait of Hormuz under our orders and coordination, following the Islamic Republic&#8217;s announcement allowing civilian ships to transit through the Strait of Hormuz.&#8221; &#8220;The American enemy violated the commitments of the ceasefire terms and the naval blockade of Iranian ships and ports was not lifted,&#8221; he added. &#8220;<b>The Strait of Hormuz will remain closed from this afternoon until the blockade is lifted<\/b>,&#8221; the Revolutionary Guards informed.<\/p>\n<h3>Azizi&#8217;s aggressive rhetoric against Trump<\/h3>\n<p>At the same time, the chairman of the Iranian parliament&#8217;s National Security Committee, <b>Ibrahim Azizi<\/b>, verbally attacked Donald Trump, who warned that if the Strait of Hormuz is not opened immediately, he will proceed with bombings.<\/p>\n<p>In a message on X, <b>Ibraim Azizzi<\/b> wrote against Trump: &#8220;1. Surrender uranium to the US, 2. Full reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, 3. Continuation of the US naval siege of Iran , 4. Zero enrichment.<b>And that&#8217;s just part of Trump&#8217;s lies and misrepresentations in April!<\/b>&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the head of Russia&#8217;s state nuclear energy company, Rosatom, <b>Alexei Likhachev,<\/b> said today that &#8220;<b>Rosatom is ready to help remove enriched uranium from Iran<\/b>&#8221; and that the company is &#8220;closely monitoring the progress of the US-Iran talks.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Iran&#8217;s military on alert<\/h3>\n<p>The situation in Iran is tense and appears to be gearing up for a full-scale war.

While, there is an update on &#8220;the full deployment of Iran&#8217;s ground forces in the region&#8221;. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The measure comes amid a sharp escalation of tensions, as reports indicate that similar measures have preceded major military operations in the past, reflecting clear signals about the reaction to any <b>violations of the ceasefire<\/b>,&#8221; Iran&#8217;s state-run Iranian news agencies reported. &#8220;At the same time, observers believe that the current developments reflect a transition from the warning phase to a state of readiness on the battlefield amid expectations that unusual movements may be observed in the coming hours,&#8221; the reports said.<\/p>\n<h3>Message to the Iranian people<\/h3>\n<p>For his part, Majid Mosavi on behalf of the Revolutionary Guards addressed the Iranian people in a message to X in which he said: &#8220;Great Nation of Iran, the war continues unabated and the enemy will not miss any opportunity to attack our country!&#8221; &#8220;<b>On the battlefield, it is not only the armed forces, but also you, the brave people of this land, who must defend our territory, fortification by fortification, holding the lines<\/b>.
