🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 The U.S. is moving to CUT OFF Iran's last remaining supply routes. CENTCOM has launched Task Force Iron Gate, targeting overland corridors and Caspian Sea networks Iran could use to bypass American sanctions and the naval blockade. And it only has 20 personnel. The U.S. military says its naval blockade has already prevented Iran from exporting more than $25 BILLION worth of crude oil. Now Washington wants to squeeze the routes Iran could use to move weapons, military technology and sanctioned goods OVERLAND. One question's standing out: How far can Washington tighten the screws without dragging Iran's neighbors into an increasingly complicated confrontation? Source: CENTCOM / Writer: Oliver
