  "account": "The US Treasury has issued a stern warning that any economic dealings with Iran will expose the individuals involved to the full spectrum of American authority. Treasury Secretary Scott Besent reiterated that the United States is steadfast in its endeavors to isolate the Iranian regime. If China is found to facilitate financial transactions for Iran, the US is prepared to impose sanctions on Beijing, stressing that no nation is immune to American sanctions. While the US has no set timeline for severing ties with Iran, its tolerance is not boundless. The US persists in exerting economic pressure on Iran, aiming to compel Tehran to return to negotiations without preconditions. Washington firmly upholds the principle of unhindered navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, openly rejecting any limitations imposed by the Iranian government.",
  "summary": "The US Treasury has warned that any economic engagement with Iran will expose officials to the full force of American power.",
