S. Bessent stated that the current economic period will commence at dawn, drawing a parallel to the Allied invasion of Normandy during World War II, which he termed the largest financial assault against an opponent. He is scheduled to present new economic measures at a press conference on Monday.
During his remarks, Bessent asserted that US President Donald Trump had significantly degraded Iran’s military capabilities, claiming that nearly 100% of its military manufacturing capacity had been dismantled and that its nuclear program had been suppressed. In response to these claims, the Iranian perspective argued that any “economic war” waged by Donald Trump would constitute a breach of international law. Furthermore, Iran indicated that its compliance with US sanctions would be regarded as an antagonistic action.
Bessent declared that the global situation was entering its final phase. The discussion centers on escalating tensions, with the rhetoric framing the current economic climate as a significant conflict. The statements underscore a heightened geopolitical dispute, focusing specifically on the economic impact of international sanctions on Iran, and the nature of the ongoing confrontation described as a modern form of war.
