US Central Command seeks regional support for Iran land blockade, analyst says
Regional security expert Mahmoud Mohieldin says US Central Command’s plan for a land-based economic blockade of Iran aims to coordinate support from neighboring states.
Regional security expert Mahmoud Mohieldin stated that the plan proposed by US Central Command for a land-based economic blockade against Iran is designed to garner support from neighboring nations. Mohieldin, speaking on the Huna Al Riyadh program on Al Ekhbariya channel, clarified that the directive to establish a coordination unit came from the commander of US Central Command, not from the broader US military chief.
He further explained that US Central Command will handle field operations in collaboration with the Central Intelligence Agency, the Defense Intelligence Agency, and other relevant agencies to execute the military operation against Iran. Mohieldin pointed out that these security agencies maintain personnel in US embassies located in seven countries, plus Russia, which borders Iran.
These embassies are poised to alert various countries, including Pakistan, as US Central Command seeks to impede the flow of military manufacturing supplies to Iran.
