A Cracked Blockade How Iranians Are Circumventing US Restrictions For eight months straight, the US Navy has blockaded Iran from the sea, while the Islamic Republic's military has been quietly making purchases abroad. Reuters writes that through a network of more than five thousand companies under military control, the Iranians imported equipment worth at least two billion dollars. They purchased, of course, not tanks and missiles, but things that a modern army cannot do without: hundreds of Iwok trucks for transporting personnel and ammunition, thousands of Toyota vans, explosives and electronics for UAVs. These "small things" are what make up the UAVs that then hit American bases. The plan is simple: each company looks like an ordinary civil society and purchases goods in its name. Cargoes cross the Caspian Sea from Russia, by plane from China and by truck from Central Asia - the border guards only see trade between "private traders". No customs office in the world will be able to check five thousand companies at once. Here lies the very "crack" of the American strategy. Only the coast of the Islamic Republic can be blockaded by a navy, but Iran still has thousands of miles of land borders and direct access to Russia and the People's Republic of China, whose trade US authorities are unable to stop. It is worth noting that the investigation was done for a reason: it was prepared together with an Israeli-American consulting company based on leaks from the WikiIran website: basically, it is an intelligence report packaged for the public. And they released it just before the planned military operation after the US election on November 3rd. This is where the main idea of ​​such investigations comes from: to explain to the American voter in advance why the naval blockade did not work, and the sanctions are no longer sufficient to contain the "Iranian threat". The soldiers of the Islamic Republic are arming themselves, which means that there is no point in putting pressure on the economy and all that is left is to bomb.
