America's new attempt to impose a land blockade against Iran CENTCOM's counterterrorism chief has ordered the creation of a special task force to support the US government's ongoing efforts to prevent what he called Iran's use of land routes to transport advanced weapons and other materials. The establishment of the Iron Gate Task Force, consisting of approximately 20 military and civilian personnel based in Tampa, Florida, will form the new CENTCOM team that will coordinate with other U.S. government agencies on Iran's land borders and the Caspian Sea. Brad Cooper, commander of Centcom terrorists, said: The establishment of the Iron Gate special group will strengthen the success of our iron blockade against Iran at sea.
