Iran on Monday rejected Washington’s claims about a new economic campaign and threatened consequences for countries that join U.S. pressure. According to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, the United States is preparing the toughest sanctions against Tehran in history and also wants to target Iran’s trading partners. SITA ↗
Bessent announced on Sunday an offensive aimed at cutting off Iran’s remaining economic “lifelines.” He described the measures as the “largest financial offensive against an adversary” and declared that the U.S. is entering the “final phase” of the war with Iran. According to available information, the new sanctions are intended to target mainly Tehran’s trade ties and the countries or companies that help it maintain revenue. STVR (Minúta po minúte) ↗
Tehran responded by rejecting the U.S. claims and warning that states involved in the sanctions pressure would bear the consequences. At the same time, according to foreign reports, Iran indicated that the dispute could also affect the oil market. Oil prices fell at the beginning of the week, with WTI trading at $85.61 per barrel and Brent at $93.08 per barrel. idnes.cz ↗
Further developments will depend on the specific form of the sanctions Washington is expected to present and on the response of countries trading with Iran. The dispute could therefore affect not only relations between the U.S. and Tehran, but also energy markets and international trade. zurnal.pravda.sk ↗
