Trump Claims Iron Gate Task Force Operating at Full Capacity Against Iran
According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, US President Donald Trump stated in recent remarks that the Iron Gate special forces mission is actively operating with full operational capacity regarding Iran, forming a key component of Washington’s pressure tactics against Tehran.
The US president elaborated on these measures, pointing to what he termed the ‘largest naval blockade in history.’ He claimed that the implementation of this initiative, combined with the maritime blockade, has ensured that virtually no goods can enter or exit Iranian borders.
Meanwhile, in another portion of his remarks, Donald Trump remarked, ‘I do not want to go to hell. I hope to go to heaven.’
Available information indicates that the United States Central Command (CENTCOM) announced the formation of the Iron Gate special task force on November 7, 2026. The mandate of this force involves collaborating with US agencies to block land routes and the Caspian Sea to prevent the transfer of weaponry, dual-use technologies, and sanctioned goods into Iran.
This program has been implemented alongside the US naval blockade of Iranian ports, with CENTCOM claiming that the blockade has thus far prevented the export of over 25 billion dollars worth of Iranian crude oil.
