After months of naval blockade on Iran's southern ports, America is now seeking to increase pressure on the borders and land routes of the Caspian Sea.
The Central Command of the US military, CENTCOM, by establishing the "Iron Gate" task force, intends to disrupt the transfer routes of advanced weapons, embargoed goods and illegal income of the Islamic Republic.
This action comes as a Reuters investigation shows that military equipment entered Iran via Russia, the Caspian Sea and Central Asian countries.
However, unlike the maritime blockade of the South, the implementation of the restrictions on the land borders and the Caspian Sea depends on the cooperation of other countries and economic pressure tools.
