In response to the new US plan to encircle Iran known as the "Iron Gate", Hossein Mohabi, the spokesman for the Revolutionary Guards, said: "This plan is just a play on words, and the Americans will not be able to achieve their goal this way, which is to exert severe economic pressure to collapse and dismantle Iran's economy."
On Sunday, November 8, a spokesman for the Revolutionary Guards said, referring to the possibility of attacking Iranian vessels by the United States: "In war conditions such incidents may occur, but what is important is how many times we hit them."
Mohebi added: "America will never be able to implement the economic blockade in the sense that it pursues and presents in different titles and programs, and if America is serious in this area, we are more serious than that and we have thought about the necessary arrangements for communication with the neighboring countries."
Earlier, Centcom announced the establishment of the "Iron Gate" working group in coordination with American government institutions, to prevent the transfer of advanced weapons and embargoed items from Iran's land borders and the Caspian Sea.
