U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent Says EU Has Joined Economic Pressure on Iran

According to Jin10, U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent said the European Union has formally joined the United States in economic pressure on Iran. Bessent wrote that Washington appreciated the EU's firm and timely stance, and said the United States and its allies stood together to ensure Iran's regime could not use the global financial system to fund its nuclear ambitions, weapons program, and terrorist proxies. He also said the world was sending Iran's regime a clear message that it would spare no effort until all of its remaining financial lifelines were cut off. Last month, the European Union said in a statement that it would work closely with the United States, other G7 members, and international partners to continue pressuring Iran, while seeking to ease tensions and maintain regional stability.
