🔹 U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent:

Everyone wants this situation to end. We have been living with this evil regime for 47 years, and people around the world are tired of this situation. The people of Iran are great people. But unfortunately, a repressive regime rules over them. Either this regime changes from within, or the people will rise up; otherwise, we will have to see what happens. We will bring them to their knees economically. They are caught in what I call the “economic death claw.” Their currency is falling and their oil exports have hit zero.
