Trump announces ‘Economic Warfare’ on Iran, threatens ‘tremendous’ consequences for its backers
- Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced this week that President Donald Trump is prepared to order new sanctions on Iran to punish its economy, marking an escalation in economic pressure.
- The administration favors economic warfare, touting its naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, after a 60-day memorandum of understanding between the U.S. and Iran expired with no replacement agreement.
- Escalating pressure targets an Iranian economy suffering 65% inflation over the past year, with officials considering sanctions on Chinese banks despite concerns about harming American economic interests.
- Mohammad Ghalibaf, Iran's parliament speaker, wrote on X Tuesday that the U.S. was "trying to pull a rabbit out of their hat" and that squeezing Iran will not win concessions.
- Trump, who is "not in a hurry" for a solution, maintains a long-term approach while Energy Secretary Chris Wright said the administration aims to leave the next generation without nuclear threats.
