Iran Hormuz Strait control
The naval force of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps says it has halted the passage of four violating vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. According to the IRGC Navy, the four ships, with the US support, had disabled their navigation systems and ignored warnings. It said two of the ships that were attempting to leave the strait through an unsafe route, were involved in accidents and stopped. The IRGC Navy added that the two others refused to continue along the route. The naval force of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps underlined that it maintains full control over the Strait of Hormuz. It added that the only safe route via the strategic waterway is the one announced by the IRGC Navy. It also emphasized that no amount of oil, gas or fertilizer will pass through the strait without coordination and authorization by the Islamic Republic.
US aggression on Iran
A senior Islamic Revolution Guards Corps commander says the United States is launching desperate military actions in a failed attempt to compensate for its strategic defeat in the region. Brigadier General Yadollah Javani stated that Iran’s armed forces have already delivered heavy blows to American bases in Jordan, Kuwait, and Oman, warning that these retaliatory strikes will continue. The IRGC political deputy emphasized that Washington is the primary and high-cost loser of this war as it attempts to reverse the geopolitical shift in the region and take the Strait of Hormuz to its pre-war condition. Turning to the assassination of the martyred Leader, Javani echoed directives from the new Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei, declaring that revenge has now become a global mission. He warned that US President Donald Trump and all perpetrators involved in the terrorist act will face relentless retribution, stressing that the Islamic nation and all freedom-seekers of the world are now seeking justice for his blood.
calling for unity
Iranian Parliament Speaker says adherence to Leader of the Islamic Revolution’s call for "sacred unity" is key for Iran's success in confronting the enemies. Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said unity should be regarded not only as a moral or social principle but also as a strategic requirement for the country's security and resilience. The parliament speaker further urged Iranians to view compliance with the Leader's guidance as both a religious and national duty. He described this as an important part of the country's "historic role in the ongoing period of national resistance". The remarks come a day after Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei stated that the nation must show no signs of weakness, stressing that preserving absolute unity will inevitably force the enemy to retreat.
