Bessent: We Will Intensify Economic Pressure on Iran

The US Treasury Secretary, emphasizing the continuation of maximum pressure on Iran, claimed Washington will not back down from this course until Tehran's financial resources are completely cut off.

Emphasizing the continuation of maximum pressure against Iran, the US Treasury Secretary claimed that Washington will not retreat from this path until Tehran's financial resources are completely cut off.

According to Ambassador Arjan's report, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant made threatening statements against Iran and claimed that the pressure on Iran's economy is increasing and that Tehran's allies will not be able to save it.

Emphasizing the continuation of financial pressures, he added: "We will not retreat until the coffers of the Iranian regime are empty and all the financial arteries supplying its war machine are cut off."

These statements are made while any escalation of the military conflict with Iran can bring heavy economic and military costs to the United States.

Disruption in the supply of oil and gas, increase in energy prices, pressure on global markets, and concern about the spread of the crisis in the Middle East have faced Washington and the global economy with serious challenges, and this has led to the American officials' exaggeration against Iran.

On Thursday, October 15, 2026 (October 23, 1405), Donald Trump's administration imposed new sanctions against Iran.

In recent months, the American government has expanded the scope of sanctions related to Iran in the financial, oil, petrochemical, transportation and military equipment fields.

Many countries of the world have declared the unilateral US sanctions as illegal and have emphasized the continuation of trade with Iran.
