US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent declared the United States has entered the concluding stage of its conflict with Iran. According to Bessent, as reported by CNN and the Financial Times, the country is embarking on the "largest financial offensive operation ever directed at an adversary." This move aims to cripple the economic infrastructure supporting Iran's authoritarian regime.
Bessent emphasized that the world must comprehend the objective to sever all financial lifelines sustaining Tehran, compelling Iran to stand alone. The secretary cautioned that if Iran retaliates to the US's economic actions with military force, President Donald Trump will respond with equal vigor and decisiveness. The warning mirrors comments made by Trump last week, who also threatened Iran with "economic D-Day," promising to impose "colossal economic sanctions" on nations engaging with Tehran. The aim is to ramp up economic pressure to compel Iran to return to the negotiating table.
