US Unleashes 'Single Greatest Financial Offensive' on Iran
The United States is escalating its economic war on Iran, calling it 'the single greatest financial offensive ever marshalled against an adversary'. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent describes this new phase as 'The end game' on Iran.
President Trump believes that the economic pressure now offers the best path to peace by targeting Iran's oil trade, its shadow tanker fleet, cash transfers, and any country still doing business with the Islamic Republic.
The president claims that America has 'total control' of the Strait of Hormuz, with U.S. forces having redirected 68 commercial vessels as part of the blockade of Iranian ports.
Former Vice President Mike Pence thinks military action may be inevitable, saying 'I think it's essential we keep the pressure on, keep the military assets in the region because I think the time is going to come when the president and our ally Israel is going to have to finish the job.'
