US Treasury chief claims Iran 'running out of' economic lifelines

Iran ·

In a post on X, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said that under a campaign called Operation Economic Outcast, Iran's government is running out of lifelines and its proxies are feeling the pressure. He also said the country is struggling amid Washington's sanctions on Tehran.

Washington has imposed sanctions on Iran for decades over its nuclear programme and regional activities, and Iran backs armed groups in several countries across the Middle East.
