Text: 🚨 IRAN’S PROXIES REPORTEDLY WITHHOLDING FIGHTERS’ SALARIES TO FUND IRGC CENTCOM Commander Adm. Brad Cooper says “there are reports” Iran-backed militias are withholding fighters’ salaries to “funnel money back” to the IRGC. The U.S. has blocked $25 billion in Iranian oil exports and frozen $35 million in cryptocurrency. “The Islamic regime is clearly feeling the economic pain and the IRGC is increasingly showing signs of greater desperation as a result,” Cooper declared. He also emphasized that the “Strait of Hormuz is controlled by the United States and our regional partners, not Iran.” CENTCOM reports helping 400 merchant vessels transit the strait over the past week. |
