What's behind this
The U.S. Central Command has created a new task force called Iron Gate to disrupt Iran’s use of ground and Caspian Sea routes for moving advanced weapons, dual‑use technologies and other sanctioned materials. The commander directed the task force’s establishment to support ongoing U.S. government efforts to prevent Iran from using land routes to transport such items. Based in Tampa, Florida, the unit comprises about 20 personnel drawn from multiple U.S. government agencies and is intended to further restrict Iran’s capability to export weapons via these routes.
