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

U.S. CENTCOM Commander Adm. Brad Cooper revealed that Iran-backed militias are funneling funds back to the financially strained Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, highlighting the regime's desperate measures amid ongoing war and economic sanctions. This underscores the Trump administration's successful pressure tactics, which include a naval blockade and severe sanctions, potentially weakening Iran's military capabilities. As the U.S. military braces for possible renewed major combat operations, this financial maneuver by Iran-backed groups could have significant strategic implications.
