CENTCOM claims Iran unable to finance proxy militia amid US naval blockade

WASHINGTON DC: United States Admiral Brad Cooper on Friday (local time) claimed that Iran was facing a financial crunch and was unable to finance its proxy militia as Washington blocked its trade via sea.

In a statement posted by CENTCOM on X, Adm Brad Cooper said that the US delivered severe blows to Iran’s finances.“Iran has no exports o

s by sea. The sum total of these actions has imposed a devastating cost on Iran’s security apparatus and IRGC specifically.

In recent months, CENTCOM in close coordination with US agency partners has delivered severe blows to the Islamic regime and the IRGC in three important areas,” Adm Cooper said.
