Brad Cooper said Friday that Iran-backed militias in the region are sending money back to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to ease economic pressure after nine months of Iran-backed war. Why it matters: As the U.S. military prepares for a possible resumption of major combat operations against Iran, the Trump administration continues to pressure Regime with its naval blockade and tough sanctions.
