US Treasury warns economic dealings with Iran risk full American response

The US Treasury Department has warned that any economic dealings with Iran will expose those involved to the full range of American power.

US Treasury Secretary Scott Besent added that the United States will continue its efforts to isolate the Iranian regime, and will target China if it facilitates financial transactions for Iran.

He stated that every country should be prepared to face US sanctions if it supports Iran, emphasizing that no nation is exempt from American sanctions, including China. However, he noted that the US will not set deadlines for cutting ties with Iran, but its patience is not unlimited.

The United States continues to apply economic pressure on Iran in an effort to force it back to the negotiating table without preconditions. Washington remains committed to the principle of freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, rejecting any restrictions imposed by Tehran.
