Australia has scaled back a planned disposal of vacant defence land after public criticism, excluding several heritage military sites including Sydney's Victoria Barracks. The government had proposed selling more than 60 military sites to raise about A$3.0bn (~US$2.1bn) to help fund defence capability upgrades; excluding these properties reduces the pool of assets slated for sale, the government said. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said Victoria Barracks will be retained as a public asset.

CENTCOM said on Nov. 7 its commander ordered the creation of Task Force Iron Gate, a roughly 20-person civil-military team based in Tampa, Florida. The unit will coordinate with other U.S. agencies to prevent advanced weapons systems, dual-use technology, sanctioned goods and illicit financial flows from transiting Iran's land borders and the Caspian Sea. CENTCOM said the task force consolidates recent maritime pressure and is intended to further constrain Iran's ability to fund terrorism, rebuild weapons production capacity and replenish forces. It added U.S. maritime measures in recent months have cost Iran more than $25 billion in crude export revenue and that strict controls on vessels entering and leaving Iranian ports remain in place.
