Iran-backed militias sending money back to cash-starved IRGC, U.S. says

U.S. CENTCOM Commander Adm. Brad Cooper stated that Iran-backed militias are sending money back to the IRGC to relieve financial pressure following nine months of war. The Trump administration maintains a naval blockade and severe sanctions, creating an economic chokehold that causes serious difficulties for Iran and its security forces. While the U.S. military prepares for potential combat operations, the White House intends for this immense pressure to induce the Iranian regime to reach a deal.
