The New York Times reported this, citing sources familiar with the matter.

According to the report, the first step in Washington's campaign to economically isolate Iran was a naval blockade of the country's ports. The US subsequently imposed sanctions that crippled a significant portion of Iran's air transport network. Washington is now targeting the country's land routes as well.

US officials have been trying for several weeks to persuade Iran's neighboring countries to close their border crossings. Three Iraqi officials and a US official familiar with the negotiations told The New York Times. However, Iran's neighbors believe that Washington's decision could be just as damaging to them as it would be to Tehran.

On Saturday, November 7, US military officials announced the establishment of Task Force Iron Gate, joining the American campaign. The military said the task force would focus on preventing the transfer of advanced weapons systems, dual-use technologies, sanctioned materials and illicit financial flows through Iran's land borders and the Caspian Sea. However, according to The New York Times, it remains unclear how the task force will operate.

Furthermore, Washington's decision poses the greatest threat to Iraq, one of Iran's largest trading partners. Baghdad fears unrest along a border over which it does not have full control.
