US-Iran war LIVE: US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Thursday (local time) said that Washington is going to apply measures that have never been seen on Iran. Tune in to Live Mint to catch all the latest US-Iran war-related updates.
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced that Washington will implement unprecedented measures against Iran in an interview with Newsmax. He stated that the US plans to apply economic isolation measures reminiscent of any seen before and a blockade in the Strait of Hormuz to prevent any trade from entering or leaving Iranian ports.
This comes after multiple threats from Israel regarding Iran's potential assassination of US President Donald Trump, which US intelligence agencies could not independently verify. US Vice President JD Vance emphasized low oil and gas prices for Americans as the primary goal of the conflict, while preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon ranked second.
US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth warned that the naval blockade on Iran could last indefinitely due to the ability to rotate ships in and out of the region.
