Iran faces 'greatest financial offensive ever', says US treasury secretary

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced that the United States is launching what he termed the 'greatest financial offensive ever' against Iran. Bessent stated that the US intends to sever all economic ties with Iran as part of this aggressive strategy. Furthermore, he warned that any other nation found to be financially partnering with Iran will also face isolation from the international economic system. This move signifies a major escalation in US pressure on Iran, aiming to cut off its financial lifelines and deter other countries from engaging with the Iranian economy, which could have significant geopolitical and economic repercussions for the region and global markets.
