The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) of Iran has stated that the U.S. "Iron Gate" land blockade plan is nothing more than a play on words. IRGC spokesperson Sardar Mohebi stated that the U.S. cannot achieve its goal of exerting severe economic pressure to collapse and disintegrate Iran's economy through this move, noting that Washington previously claimed Iran would face economic collapse within two weeks, which did not happen. Earlier, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) stated that Task Force "Iron Gate" would "disrupt" Iran's overland supply chains and stem the flow of weapons.
