The US announced the formation of Task Force Iron Gate, an internal staff of 20 civilian and military personnel who will be tasked with choking Iran's land borders. Iron Gate will coordinate with other US government agencies to prevent the movement of advanced weapons systems, dual-use technologies, sanctioned materials and illegal revenue streams. It'll also choke Iran's Caspian Sea border.
