US Forms 20-Member Task Force to Restrict Land Transit Routes Into Iran

The United States has launched a 20-member task force aimed at restricting land transit routes into Iran. The measure would extend an existing US naval blockade of Iranian ports, imposed during the two countries' eight-month war. Iran has itself restricted passage through the Strait of Hormuz, a key trade route, which has choked global energy supplies. The article frames the new restrictions as a further escalation of economic pressure in the conflict. Details beyond these points were not provided in the source text.
