🇺🇸 CENTCOM LAUNCHES TASK FORCE IRON GATE TO BLOCK IRANIAN WEAPONS AND ILLICIT SHIPMENTS

CENTCOM Commander Adm. Brad Cooper ordered the creation of a Tampa-based task force to disrupt Iranian weapons shipments, sanctioned materials, dual-use technologies, and illicit revenue moving across Iran’s land borders and the Caspian Sea.

Cooper declared:

“The establishment of Task Force Iron Gate reinforces the success of our ironclad blockade against Iran at sea.”

“Strengthening CENTCOM’s collaboration with U.S. interagency partners will further constrain Iran’s ability to finance terrorism, rebuild weapons factories, and replenish their military.”

CENTCOM reports the U.S. naval blockade has prevented Iran from exporting more than $25 BILLION in crude oil in recent months. Maritime enforcement continues.
