Scott Bessent: US to apply ‘never seen before’ measures against Iran

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has announced that the United States intends to implement stringent measures against Iran that are unprecedented in nature. According to the Jerusalem Post, Bessent emphasized that this strategy will involve a combination of severe economic isolation and the continued blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. According to the US Treasury Secretary, the objective of these measures is to completely prevent the flow of goods and resources into and out of Iran. These remarks come as tensions in the Persian Gulf remain a central focus of Washington's foreign policy.
