- Iran's hidden web of military agencies is slipping military hardware past the U.S. blockade, Reuters reported, pointing to a supply network spread across military agencies rather than a single front.
- Iran imports at least $2 billion in military supplies despite the U.S. blockade, a scale the same Reuters coverage attaches to a route other outlets describe as Iran's military 'lifeline' amid sanctions.
Why it matters: At least $2 billion in military supplies has moved into Iran despite the U.S. blockade, according to Reuters, and the route runs through a web of military agencies. For U.S. enforcement, both the dollar scale and the multi-agency structure mean a blockade aimed at trade channels is not closing the military-supply gap.
