🔶 America wants to limit Iran's land trade routes.
The U.S. military's Central Command, CENTCOM, announced on Saturday (November 7) the creation of a new task force to limit the transfer routes of weapons, sensitive technologies and sanctioned goods to and from Iran.
This task force called "Iron Gate" was established under the command of Admiral Brad Cooper, commander of CENTCOM, and will be based in Tampa, Florida.
According to a Centcom statement, this group will consist of approximately 20 military and civilian forces and will work with other US government agencies to identify and prevent the transfer of advanced military equipment, dual-use technologies and sanctioned goods.
The focus of this mission will be on the land borders of Iran and the trade routes of the Caspian Sea. Also, identifying and disrupting ways of "illegal income" in the Republic of Salami was announced as another goal of this working group.
