The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) of Iran has dismissed a recent US military plan to restrict the flow of goods through Iran's land borders and the Caspian Sea as "merely wordplay". According to the IRGC spokesman, Hossein Mohebbi, the Americans are unable to achieve their goal of imposing severe economic pressure on Iran through this approach.
Mohebbi noted that the US had previously predicted Iran would suffer economic collapse within two weeks, but this has not materialized. Iran has been preparing for economic pressure and maintaining close ties with neighboring countries, Mohebbi added. The response came after the US Central Command (Centcom) announced the creation of Task Force Iron Gate on Saturday.
