- Iran-backed militias in the region have been sending money back to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to relieve the economic pressure it faces after nine months of war, U.S. CENTCOM Commander Adm. Brad Cooper said Friday.
- U.S. CENTCOM, under Adm. Brad Cooper, publicly identified the militia-to-IRGC cash flows as a pressure point on Iran's military apparatus after a prolonged conflict.
Why it matters: Cooper's disclosure reframes the IRGC's financial strain after nine months of war: its proxy network is now flowing cash inward to the IRGC rather than receiving it outward — a pressure point U.S. commanders are now naming publicly.
