US treasury secretary: Long fuel lines in Iran as leaders in shock

US Treasury Secretary Scott Besant said that fuel lines in Iran stretch for hours as people wait to fill up.

He added that Iran's leaders are in a state of shock over the condition of their economy, and that Tehran is taking sanctions seriously.

Besant also stated that the United States will continue to pressure Iran, which he said is responding aggressively because it is losing economically.

These remarks come as the US naval blockade on Iran remains in place and negotiations have stalled further following American military strikes on key Iranian sites.

Iran has set preconditions before any talks, seeking to raise the issue of controlling the Strait of Hormuz and imposing transit fees, but the United States has rejected these demands.
