US Treasury Secretary Bessent recently stated: “The US Treasury Department has previously launched an “economic isolation operation” aimed at further tightening the economic blockade against Iran and cutting off all sources of revenue that may fund the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran and its violent regime. Less than two months later, we have severely damaged every aspect of Iran's oil revenue. Its shadow tanker fleet has been severely weakened, major oil export terminals are empty, and offshore oil reserves have been exhausted. Meanwhile, ordinary Iranians are still suffering from a growing economic crisis, as the Iranian regime squanders resources on violence and terrorism abroad rather than improving the lives of people at home. As President Trump takes actions long delayed by his predecessor, the US is no longer just dealing with the Iranian threat, but is trying to completely eliminate it.”
