Iran unable to pay troops, fund proxies under Operation Economic Outcast, Bessent says

Iran ·

The operation was announced on August 24 and, according to Bessent's statement, aims to cut Tehran's funding for the war, missile construction, cyberattacks and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).

Iran has been under US sanctions for decades, and Washington accuses Tehran of backing armed groups across the region, including Hezbollah in Lebanon and the Houthi movement (Ansar Allah) in Yemen.
