Scores here are heuristic signals about sourcing and corroboration across outlets — not verdicts on whether a story is true, and not an endorsement or condemnation of any outlet. How this works
Iran-backed militias in the region have been sending money back to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to relieve the economic pressure it's under after nine months of war , U.S. CENTCOM Commander Adm. Brad Cooper said Friday. Why it matters: While the U.S. military has been preparing for a possible resumption of major combat operations against Iran, the Trump administration continues to put immense pressure on the regime with its naval blockade and severe sanctions. U.S. officials say the economic chokehold is causing serious difficulties for Iran and its security forces, while making the regime frustrated and aggressive. The White House hopes the pressure will induce Iran to make a deal that includes nuclear concessions. But so far, that hasn't happened. Driving the news: Cooper said the naval blockade has cost Iran $25 billion in lost oil revenue. Additionally, CENTCOM and the Treasury Department have managed in recent weeks to freeze $350 million that Iran had in cryptocurrency.
