President Donald Trump has unveiled "Task Force Iron Gate" aimed at blocking Iran's trade, military supplies and weapons networks. The task force, established on Saturday under the direction of CENTCOM Commander Admiral Brad Cooper, consists of around 20 civilian and military personnel based in Tampa, Florida. Task Force Iron Gate operates alongside an existing US naval blockade across Iranian ports along the Arabian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman, preventing over USD 25 billion in crude oil exports in recent months.
Additionally, the task force will monitor and disrupt illicit movements of weapons systems, dual-use technologies and sanctioned materials. Meanwhile, the IRGC Aerospace Force claims domestic defence manufacturing capabilities, technological advancements and military self-reliance, emphasizing Iran's progress beyond being a military equipment importer to an exporter in the aerospace sector.
