U.S. President Donald Trump said Sunday that the newly established Task Force Iron Gate is now fully operational, declaring that "very little gets in or out of Iran."
In a post on his social media account, Trump said the task force "is in full force."
"Couple with history's greatest Naval Blockade, very little gets in, or out, of Iran!" said the U.S. president.
On Saturday, the U.S. CENTCOM announced in a social media post the formation of a task force that will support ongoing U.S. government efforts to prevent Iran from using ground routes to transport advanced weapons and other materials.
Task Force Iron Gate, a unit of approximately 20 civilian and military personnel based in Tampa, Florida, will coordinate with other U.S. government agencies on preventing the movement of advanced weapons systems, dual-use technologies, sanctioned materials, and illegal revenue streams across Iran's land borders and the Caspian Sea, according to the announcement.
Brad Cooper, commander of CENTCOM, said the establishment of the task force reinforces the U.S. blockade against Iran at sea and will further constrain Iran's ability to rebuild weapons factories and replenish its military.
On Sunday, Iran's Fars news agency reported that spokesman Hossein Mohebbi of Iran's Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) dismissed the U.S. Task Force Iron Gate, saying that the United States cannot achieve its objectives of exerting severe economic pressure to cause economic collapse in Iran through this approach.
