Sec. Scott Bessent on Iran: We’re Saying to Allies That ‘You’re Either with Us or Against Us,’ You Want This Murderous Regime to End

RUSH EXCERPT:
BESSENT: "Oil markets are misinterpreting what this economic pressure means The economic pressure means that we are going to all of our allies and this is going to be the greatest coordinated economic isolation in the history of the world and we are going to them and saying you are either with us or against us You want this murderous regime to end and if you insist on the doing business with them either transferring money, buying their oil the doing seaborne ship transporters than the US Treasury and the US government they will put its full might and force toward enforcing against you So it is time for our allies and the rest of the world to make a decision and we are going to squash the economy of this murderous regime which that will curtail their ability to project power through their proxies It will it will mean that they cannot pay the military And we have substantial inflation both food inflation and ordinary inflation in Iran”
