Bessent: We’re Approaching the Endgame on Iran, What We’re Seeing Is a Total Financial Collapse of the Regime

EXCERPT:

BESSENT: "Look, what’s going on in Iran is the culmination, or we're quickly approaching the endgame of President Trump’s plan that he put into effect almost immediately when he came into office. We've been applying a maximum pressure campaign on Iran’s oil exports to cut off these sources of the regime's funding, and what we have seen in the past month is a total financial collapse of the regime. We’re seeing banks go out of business, we’re seeing inflation, we are seeing a lack of hard currency in the economy. The Iranian leadership has been hurting the people. They have been spreading the money around the globe for proxy wars for — to try to develop a nuclear weapon. And as we saw with Operation Midnight Hammer June 22, when President Trump gave the order for our great B-2 pilots to end Iran’s nuclear program, we continued the pressure then, and the Iranian people are now desperate because the economy has been so poorly managed and the regime is on their back foot and they have taken to violence. President Trump has ordered them to stop the violence or face the consequences."
