US launches Task Force Iron Gate to choke Iran's land supply routes

What's behind this

The United States has created a 20‑member task force, called Task Force Iron Gate, under CENTCOM, to disrupt land and Caspian Sea routes used to move weapons, sanctioned materials and other restricted goods into Iran. The team will coordinate with other U.S. agencies to find ways to block these shipments. The effort builds on an existing U.S. naval blockade of Iranian ports that has been in place during an eight‑month conflict in which Tehran has also limited passage through the Strait of Hormuz.
