The Iranian Revolutionary Guards Council (IRGC) has dismissed the US's latest plan to tighten economic pressure on Iran as mere "wordplay," according to a spokesperson for the group. The US military's Task Force Iron Gate, launched to help crack down on Tehran's movement of advanced weapons and other sanctioned material over its land borders and through the Caspian Sea, is seen by the IRGC as incapable of achieving its objectives of imposing severe economic pressure to cause economic collapse in Iran.
IRGC spokesperson Hossein Mohebbi made the statement to the semi-official Fars news agency, emphasizing that Tehran has made preparations and communicates closely with neighbors, making it difficult for the US to achieve its goals.
