Scott Bessent: US entering ‘endgame’ with Iran

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has stated that the American government is entering the 'endgame' regarding its policy toward the Islamic Republic. He emphasized that Washington intends to sever all of Iran's economic lifelines. Bessent warned that any remaining ties to Tehran will hasten the economic ostracism of countries and entities that continue to engage with the regime. According to the Treasury Secretary, this isolation will apply to those who have either purposefully constructed or willfully ignored their connections to Tehran. These remarks come as the United States has intensified its economic pressure on Iran in recent months.
