US Central Command launches task force to curb arms flows via Iran

The US Central Command (CENTCOM) has established a working group to counter the movement of weapons across Iran's land borders and the Caspian Sea. The group was created on November 7 by CENTCOM's head. Named "Iron Gate," the task force will be based in Florida and coordinate with other US agencies. Its goal is to prevent the transport of advanced weapons, dual-use technologies, and sanctioned materials through Iranian territory. The group will also work to block illegal revenue channels. The announcement was made via a CENTCOM statement on the social media platform X.
