US Military Task Force to Disrupt Iran's Supply Routes

The United States military is forming a 20-member task force to disrupt land routes into Iran used for shipping weapons and illicit materials. This unit, based in Florida, will work with other US agencies to prevent advanced weapons and illegal cash from crossing Iran’s borders.

CENTCOM chief Brad Cooper mentioned that this effort will 'further constrain Iran’s ability to finance terrorism.' However, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claims this initiative 'will fail.'
