Bessent to Unveil 'Toughest Sanctions in History' on Iran Monday
- On Saturday, Mohsen Rezaei, leader of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, threatened neighbors against joining U.S. efforts to squeeze Tehran's economy, warning they would be considered enemies.
- President Trump recently vowed to impose an "unprecedented" level of economic warfare on Iran, while Rezaei's appointment this month is widely seen as hardening Tehran's political and military stance.
- "We will target their interests," Rezaei said, vowing to disrupt shipping routes beyond the Strait of Hormuz if neighbors join the economic war and warning Iran will "retaliate in a seismic manner" if the U.S. acts.
- Meanwhile, Tehran has helped some ships carrying Iraqi oil transit the Strait of Hormuz; Iraqi President Nizar Amidi confirmed this facilitation Saturday, though compensation details remain unclear.
- Arguing that international monitoring provides no protection against attack, Tehran claims the United States has increased global nuclear insecurity, signaling a shift toward a more aggressive regional posture.
