Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated on Sunday that the Trump administration is preparing to initiate a new phase of economic pressure against Iran, beginning this Monday. Bessent described the current geopolitical situation as the "endgame" for the Islamic Republic, signaling a shift toward aggressive financial measures to complement existing military efforts.

In his remarks, Bessent characterized the administration's previous military operations as highly successful. He claimed that the United States has effectively dismantled Iran’s operational capabilities, asserting that nearly 100 percent of the nation's military factories have been destroyed and its nuclear program has been "buried." These comments align with President Trump’s recent rhetoric regarding the administration's foreign policy successes in the region.

While the Treasury Secretary emphasized the success of these operations, the administration has not yet provided specific details regarding the mechanics of the upcoming economic offensive. The announcement suggests a coordinated effort to leverage the perceived military degradation of Iran into long-term economic containment. The administration maintains that these combined pressures are necessary to ensure regional stability and prevent the resurgence of Iranian military production.
