CENTCOM launches task force on Iran’s overland weapons routes
Shafaq News- Tampa
US Central Command (CENTCOM) set up a task force on Saturday to disrupt the movement of advanced weapons, dual-use technologies, sanctioned materials and illegal revenue across Iran’s land borders and the Caspian Sea.
Task Force Iron Gate, a team of about 20 civilian and military personnel based in Tampa, Florida, will coordinate with other US government agencies. CENTCOM commander Adm. Brad Cooper said it builds on the naval blockade and will further limit Tehran’s ability to finance terrorism, rebuild weapons factories and replenish its military.
According to CENTCOM, the blockade, which Washington resumed on July 14, has prevented Iran from exporting more than $25 billion worth of crude oil in recent months.
