Washington, DC – Sources revealed that the US Navy has dubbed its ongoing campaign against ships linked to Iran “Economic Rage.” This comes as part of escalating pressure on Tehran on both the military and economic fronts.

According to the sources, the campaign aims to intensify measures against ships dealing with Iran. This is being done through increased interception and surveillance operations in vital maritime routes, particularly in the Strait of Hormuz.

US President Donald Trump expressed optimism that the “Economic Rage” campaign will facilitate reaching an agreement with Iran. This would be achieved by increasing pressure on Tehran and pushing it to make concessions on outstanding issues.

In the same vein, the US Treasury Department expanded the scope of sanctions to include additional ships dealing with Iran. This is part of a strategy aimed at curtailing Iran’s economic capabilities. The ultimate goal of the campaign is to compel Tehran to fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz and guarantee freedom of international navigation.
