Jerusalem Post: Economic sanctions are empowering extremist elements in Iran’s regime

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, writing in a column for the Financial Times, declared that an "economic D-Day" against Tehran began on Monday. Bessent stated that under the Trump administration, the Treasury Department will continue to sever every economic lifeline sustaining the regime until Tehran is left completely isolated. Meanwhile, a report from the Jerusalem Post, citing an Iranian dissident, suggests that these economic pressures have inadvertently led to extremist elements within the regime's power structure gaining further influence and control.
