Iran’s military industries face dilemma amid mounting US pressure

According to Alhurra, pressure on Iran's supply chain and military industries is no longer limited to sanctions and naval blockade, as Washington's moves now encompass land routes and the Caspian Sea to curb the flow of equipment and technology to Tehran. Jordanian military expert Ayman Al-Rousan told Alhurra that Washington's ability to conduct intelligence surveillance and disrupt supply networks increases procurement and transport costs, though completely closing all routes remains difficult due to Iran's vast borders. Reuters also reported that Iran has established a covert network to import military equipment worth at least two billion dollars. Meanwhile, US Central Command (CENTCOM) launched Task Force Iron Gate to monitor these routes, while the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps dismissed the move as a mere play on words.
