US-„Wirtschaftskrieg“: USA wollen Einnahmequellen des Irans trockenlegen
Keine Deadline, keine Namen, keine Länder: Mit gravierenden Maßnahmen wollte US-Präsident Trump den Iran in die Knie zwingen. Nach einem Auftritt seines Finanzministers bleibt aber viel unklar.
In a bid to "economically isolate" Iran, the US government is launching a comprehensive campaign of sanctions under Operation "Economic Outcast," according to US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. These new sanctions aim to cut off every potential revenue stream for Iran's Revolutionary Guard, Bessent stated during a press conference.
The focus of the sanctions will be on digital assets, technology, gold, aviation, and shipping. Specific measures have not been detailed by the Treasury Department, which claims to have "identified every node, intermediary, and network that Iran has used for oil smuggling and for evading sanctions." The department is currently coordinating with "international partners" to urge them to cease cooperation with Tehran. Bessent did not mention any specific countries or provide a timeline for the unspecified measures.
