President Donald Trump is calling world leaders with “specific requests to cease their interactions with the regime” and countries will face a specific timeline to shut down links with Iran or face unilateral US punishment, Bessent told a press conference.
“We are launching an economic onslaught against Iran’s financial connections around the globe,” Bessent said. He called the move “economic asphyxiation of this regime.”
