gmx.net (German) —

The United States has expanded its blockade against Iran beyond naval operations, adding a new taskforce to cut off land and Caspian Sea supply routes. President Donald Trump announced the "Iron Gate" taskforce is already active. The Centcom taskforce aims to intercept weapons deliveries and technology transfers that could have military applications. Trump stated on Truth Social that "very little" can now enter or leave Iran. The broader US strategy seeks to economically pressure Iran by halting oil export revenues. The land and Caspian Sea measures complement the existing naval blockade of Iranian ports.
