Sec. Scott Bessent: ‘The Blockade Is Working’ as U.S. Economic Pressure Cuts Off Iranian Oil Exports

RUSH EXCEREPT:

BESSENT: "One of the things we have done what the president is done is fantastic sequencing. We are running operation economic outcast right now. This is the greatest economic isolation operation in history the world. We are going to asphyxiate this regime. Now we have a blockade and because of the blockade of oil is not getting out. There’s probably only 30 million barrels of Iranian oil left that China has not bought. That will run out soon and there will be no problem with China. The blockade is working. It’s working like nothing they have ever seen in the combination everyone says sanctions don’t work. I can tell you blockade and sanctions or one of the most powerful 1-2 punches in the history of economic isolation."
