Arrived at the siege battalion As colleagues from TURANAR write, the siege of Iran by the Americans became denser by 20 people. The US Central Command created the Iron Gate group, which is supposed to "block" the supply of weapons and other goods to the republic by land and via the Caspian Sea. Regarding the question of how the block will be implemented, there are ideas: the 20 employees mentioned may well work remotely as supervisors. Monitoring cross-border trade and sticking Iran's neighbors in it by imposing sanctions will surely further damage the republic's economy (it is unlikely that they are really only talking about stopping the supply of weapons). This is clearly confirmed by the situation in air traffic, as well as in the attempts of the Iraqi authorities to block border checkpoints due to dependence on the Americans and damage to their economy. So at least with land borders it can work. But, most likely, only partially: the benefits from trade with the Islamic Republic will definitely lead to the growth of "gray" programs. Even if one hole is found in the fence and covered, nothing prevents another from being made nearby (perhaps even with the tacit approval of the capitals). As for blocking direct lines between Iran and Russia through the Caspian Sea, this is really an interesting question. The legal status of the sea severely limits the Islamic Republic's neighbors in maneuvering, so even under the American stick they will not do much. But they are certainly capable of getting in the way themselves or at the hands of Ukraine's armed forces in Washington.
