Senior Iranian IRGC advisor Mohsen Rezaei has publicly reiterated his opposition to extending the current ceasefire with the United States, stating it is "not in our interest at all." He declared that Iranian forces have aimed launchers at the USS Abraham Lincoln and all other US vessels in the region, vowing to "sink all of them" and not let a single one escape. The threats come amid heightened tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, where the US Navy is enforcing a blockade and has intercepted multiple Iranian vessels. Rezaei's comments signal continued hardline resistance from elements within Iran's military leadership against any diplomatic de-escalation.
