CENTCOM announced the establishment of the Iron Gate Task Force. The new task force, consisting of about 20 people, will focus on preventing Iran from using land routes and the Caspian Sea to evade sanctions and transport weapons, goods and technology. "Establishing the Iron Gate task force reinforces the success of our credible naval blockade of Iran," Cooper said. "Strengthening CENTCOM's cooperation with US agencies will further limit Iran's ability to finance terrorism, rehabilitate weapons factories and replenish its weapons stockpiles."
