In an interview with reporters, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent expressed his confusion about the recent sharp fluctuations in the crude oil market. He said bluntly: “Oil prices are soaring today, I really don't understand what happened.” In response to the current high oil prices and the situation in the Middle East, Bezent has sent a clear policy signal. He said that the “economic measures” the US government is about to announce will mean that oil prices will fall faster. According to reports, Bezent plans to hold a special press conference next Monday to discuss in detail the relevant plans and countermeasures against Iran. Previously, he had hinted many times that the US was preparing to implement “unprecedented” economic isolation measures against Iran in an attempt to resolve the issue through extreme economic pressure rather than direct military action.
