‘Endgame’: US moves to cut Iran off from the world
The US Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, declared on Sunday that the Trump administration is in the final stages of its campaign against Iran, announcing what they call an economic D-Day to sever Iran's economic lifelines. The administration claims to have dismantled Iran's military capabilities, destroyed nearly all military factories, and neutralized Iran's nuclear program.
Bessent accused Iran of using security guarantees as a form of extortion, stating that Tehran has relied on the assumption that any retaliation would be certain while US enforcement could be negotiated. He emphasized that President Trump has created the conditions for the US government to utilize every agency, authority, and action, aiming to isolate Iran until it stands alone economically.
Meanwhile, Iran's Supreme National Security Council Secretary, Mohsen Rezaei, warned that Tehran could halt all oil exports if the US economic war against Iran continues. He further threatened that any country supporting or participating in the US economic campaign against Tehran would be considered an act of war.
