Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Dismiss US ‘Iron Gate’ Plan as Mere Wordplay

Tehran: Hossein Mohebi, spokesman for Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guard Corps, has said that the United States’ “Iron Gate” plan is nothing more than wordplay. He also described the American plan to besiege Iran by land routes as unimportant.

In a statement issued by the spokesman, he said the United States is trying to impose an economic blockade on Iran under various titles and plans, but it will fail.

He said Iran has good relations with its neighbours and has several routes available for maintaining those ties. “The United States is too weak to close these routes,” he said.
