1 Interesting: Pakistan is closing a critical land trade corridor with Iran as the United States expands its blockade of the Islamic Republic.

We waited to do this deliberately. It was strategic. We let the naval blockade start to crush Iran’s ability to get goods in/out & shut down its income. We knew they would adapt to overland routes for everything they could, & whats left of their entire economy would become 100% dependent on those routes.

Now they just vanished overnight.

You know what the best part of this is? The land routes— rail lines & roads— both depend on key bridges & in some cases mountain passes….extremely vulnerable to being closed long term by air attack. And any efforts to repair damage to those key choke points or clear them are also highly vulnerable to air attack.

And there’s lots of options for the Caspian sea, too.

And now that the midterms are over, Iran doesn’t have anything left it can leverage.

2 IIUC, iron gate is to shut off Overland supply roots to add to the existing naval blockade.
