U.S. Treasury Secretary Reveals Strategy to Create Economic Unrest in Iran

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated that the measures taken by the Treasury Department led to the creation of a dollar shortage inside Iran, forcing the Iranian central bank to print money, which resulted in the collapse of the national currency and a sharp rise in inflation.

Bessent added:

“We will continue monitoring all our partners, all our Iranian partners,” emphasizing Washington’s ongoing surveillance of actors connected to Iran’s economy.

These remarks reflect the existence of a U.S. economic strategy aimed at generating economic instability in countries such as Iran, relying on what the United States consistently refers to as its “partners,” with potential repercussions extending to other countries in the region, including Iraq.
