rafidainscope - US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced the implementation of the largest financial blockade to date against Iran, emphasizing that the objective is to sever all economic lifelines sustaining the Iranian regime. Bessent warned that nations aligning their financial
systems with Tehran must face isolation and international consequences, adding that any military action targeting US forces or Gulf partners will draw a swift and decisive response. Meanwhile, Mohsen Rezaei, Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, cautioned that sustained
economic warfare could lead Iran to block crude shipments through the Strait of Hormuz.
