According to Israel's Channel 14, the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has responded to the new US plan to increase economic pressure on Tehran and block its trade routes. Hossein Mohebbi, a spokesperson for the organization, told the Fars news agency that the 'Iron Gate' plan is merely a 'word game,' claiming that the US will not be able to achieve its goals of causing an economic collapse in Iran through this approach. This reaction follows the establishment of a new US task force aimed at increasing enforcement against the transfer of advanced weapons and sanctioned materials through Iran's land borders and the Caspian Sea. The IRGC spokesperson further claimed that Tehran had prepared for these measures in advance and, by maintaining close ties with neighboring countries, would prevent the US from achieving its economic objectives.
