The US military is setting up a task force to restrict Iranian land commerce and Caspian Sea shipments, Reuters reported on Saturday, November 7, 2026. The task force follows a months-long US naval blockade on Iran and aims to limit Tehran's movement of advanced weapons systems and other sanctioned material across its land borders and the Caspian Sea. Reuters said the announcement, not previously reported, was to be made later Saturday by US Central Command, according to a statement it had seen.
