Iran dismisses new US military operation 'Iron Gates' as 'wordplay'

Iran's Revolutionary Guards spokesperson rejected the US military's new operation 'Iron Gates,' which expands naval and land trade restrictions, calling it 'wordplay' and asserting it will not collapse Iran's economy.

A representative of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Hossein Mohabi, commented on the new US military operation "Iron Gates," which expands the naval blockade to include restrictions on land trade. Mohabi called the plan "nothing more than a play on words" and stated that the Americans will not be able to use this approach to exert serious economic pressure to bring about the collapse and disintegration of the Iranian economy. He recalled that in the past, the US claimed that the Iranian economy would collapse within two weeks, but this did not happen.
