US Launches Major Financial Offensive to Isolate Iran Economically

Bessent warned countries against supporting Iran and emphasized using all available measures to isolate Tehran financially. Iran dismissed the sanctions threat, with officials calling it a sign of US desperation and warning of retaliatory actions against supporters of the sanctions.
