The US military has announced the formation of Task Force "Iron Gate," aimed at cutting off Iran's overland and Caspian Sea supply networks. U.S. Central Command stated that the new unit will be headquartered in Tampa, Florida, and will be responsible for coordinating interagency operations to prevent the transfer of advanced weapons systems, dual-use technologies, and sanctioned goods across Iran's land borders and the Caspian Sea. In response, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps dismissed the plan as "mere wordplay."
