Trump says Task Force Iron Gate is in full force in Iran alongside a naval blockade

Single source · Iran, Iran (approximate) · 2026-11-08 20:48 UTC

Posts attribute to Donald Trump a statement that the Iron Gate task force is fully active in Iran and that, with the naval blockade, very little enters or leaves the country. The eleven claims all relay this same statement, differing only in wording and in the task force's name ('Iron Gate', 'Iron Gateway').
