Scott Bessent: ‘The Iranian Regime Is over as They Know It ... We’re Going to Grind Them into the Ground’

EXCERPT:

BESSENT: "And that’s exactly what we’re saying. We’re saying, after 47 years, this terrible game that they have been playing with the Iranian people, terrorizing the Gulf and attacking American citizens, attacking the world, that the Iranian regime is over as they know it. And they are either going to have to come to the table and be ready to negotiate that they cannot have a nuclear weapon, they have to give up their highly enriched uranium, that they have to stop with their terrorist proxies, that they have to stop terrorizing their neighbors, or this will continue. And I believe that between the kinetic action that our great military did for six weeks, the blockade, and the greatest — the effort at financial isolation in the history of the world, history of the world, we are going to grind them into the ground."
