The Secretary of the Treasury of the United States, Scott Bessent, revealed his strategy of applying new economic sanctions to Iran with the objective of forcing Tehran to accept dialogue. Bessent believes the economic pressure will eventually convince Iranian leaders to give in.
According to the Secretary, it will only be a matter of time until the economic suffocation operation begins to produce concrete effects on the Iranian regime. Bessent argues that Tehran is feeling the effects of the restrictive measures.
Bessent guarantees that Iranian leaders are isolated and that they are beginning to show clear signs of apprehension regarding American pressure. This assessment comes at a time of growing tension between the two countries.
Bessent's strategy is based on the premise that economic isolation will inevitably lead Tehran to the negotiating table, although no specific date was given for when such a change in posture might occur.
