Washington launches 'Iron Gate' and Tehran raises readiness for 'shattering response'

Tehran, Iran ·

Iranian officials and US Central Command exchanged escalatory messages on Saturday about the possibility of renewed fighting. Washington also announced a new task force to restrict the movement of weapons and sanctioned goods across Iran's borders and into the Caspian Sea. Iran's Supreme National Security Council secretary said the US administration had lost both the war and the elections, and claimed the US vice president had conceded defeat.

Relations between Washington and Tehran have been hostile since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, with US sanctions over Iran's nuclear programme and its regional role in place for years.
