A military advisor to the Islamic Revolution Leader says Iranian Armed Forces’ launchers are ready to hit American warships and sink all of them.
Speaking in a televised interview on Wednesday, Mohsen Rezaei, who is also a member of Iran’s Expediency Discernment Council and a former commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), stressed the need to exert more pressure on the enemies.
“Pressure must increase. Our launchers are now locked on the warships, and we will sink them all,” he said.
Pointing to the US efforts to impose a naval blockade on Iran, he added that the plan would definitely fail.
“Just as the United States suffered a historic defeat in trying to open the Strait of Hormuz, it is also doomed to fail in the naval blockade,” Rezaei emphasized.
He said the Iranian Armed Forces would never allow the US to achieve any success in proceeding with its naval blockade and are in possession of “major untapped leverage” to counter it.
The senior Iranian official reiterated that the Americans have no plan to end the war they jointly waged with the Israeli regime against the Islamic Republic late in February.
“In their latest plan, they (Americans) intended to deploy paratroopers in [the Iranian city of Isfahan] and seize our uranium to fabricate an achievement for themselves,” he added.
Iran imposed restrictions on the passage of vessels in the Strait following the illegal US-Israeli war of aggression on February 28.
The administration of Donald Trump said over the weekend it would impose a blockade on Iranian ports in the Persian Gulf and Sea of Oman. The US military claimed the blockade took effect on Monday.
In a post on his Truth Social on Sunday, Trump said the US Navy “will begin the process of blockading any and all ships trying to enter, or leave, the Strait of Hormuz.”
The IRGC warned that any military vessels approaching the Strait of Hormuz would breach a fragile two-week ceasefire reached between Iran and the US to halt 40 days of intense fighting which took effect last week. Iran’s central military command also warned of a broader regional response if Iranian ports come under attack.
On Wednesday, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned about the “dangerous consequences” of provocative US positions and actions targeting the Persian Gulf and the strategic Strait of Hormuz.
Ceasefire extension not in Iran’s interests
Elsewhere in his interview, Rezaei said he believes that extending the ceasefire is not in Iran’s interest.
“Only when all agreements and our rights are fulfilled and a resolution is submitted to the UN Security Council, a ceasefire will be meaningful,” he added.
The official cited the “moral and humanitarian” considerations toward other nations as among the reasons that Iran has agreed to a temporary ceasefire.
Pointing to the possibility of holding another round of talks with the US, he stressed the need for “precision” to be observed in details of any negotiations in the future.
“We must be sensitive to every single word,” Rezaei said.
He concluded with two predictions, saying either the US would stop and accept Iran’s ten conditions which he said was unlikely or it will press ahead with its desperate efforts to win the war.
Despite approximately 21 hours of negotiations and diplomatic efforts by high-ranking Iranian and American negotiators in the Pakistani capital of Islamabad over the weekend, the US excessive demands prevented reaching an agreement.
The Iranian delegation, headed by Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, presented various initiatives during the talks, but the Americans obstructed progress in the talks.

The Most Revolutionary Act 
The US warships shouldn’t be hard to sink what with the majority of troops on board those warships, underfed and swooning from being funky AND hungry! The US troops have too many issues to deal with onboard those warships than to be of much use in fighting. When US troops are sending pictures of a cup of fake carrots and a tortilla that is all they have to eat back home to their families, things aren’t looking up for the US troops to win in a war they’ve no business participating in. They’d better be glad that I am not at the helm of one of those warships because I would have sabotaged it so that it would be heading back to the U.S. without the ability to be turned around. Hell! All I’d probably need to do to sabotage the warship, is to take a sledgehammer to the antiquated steering wheel and the steam engine room, after having turned the warship in the direction of the U.S. and let the thing limp back to home base! (Hint! Hint! to the US troops) The Iranians have nothing to worry about! And I believe they know this!

I think it’s absolutely disgusting what they’re being fed, Susan. It’s ridiculous that their families have to send them care packages. The sailors on board are facing the longest deployment ever and are totally demoralized by being forced to fight a war that makes no sense whatsoever. It’s only a matter of time before the US Navy faces total mutiny.

I know only too well how the US treats it’s soldiers and sailors. I would gladly stomp LBJ’s grave if it would bring back the sailors he was prepared to let drown or be shark food in order that there be no witnesses left to name and thereby protect Israel as the aggressor.
You get no argument from me!

As far as I can ascertain, Shelby, the blockade is more or less fictional. There is no record I can find anywhere of them intercepting or turning back any ships and Iranian oil ships continue to transport large oil shipments to East Asia. Yesterday 14 ships transited the Strait of Hormuz – which is the most this week. https://hormuzstraitmonitor.com/

Apparently (reasonably normally) people who work with him at the White House report a distinct change in his personality in his personality (some neurological event?) in September. A pity he has no Jill Biden type figure in his life to keep him from launching a nuclear war.
