Politico: „Ziua Z economică” a lui Bessent împotriva Iranului începe cu un „foc de avertisment”

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent launched a campaign to economically isolate Iran, warning foreign governments and companies of potential financial repercussions for engaging with Tehran. Dubbed 'Economic Pariah Operation', the initiative aims to pressure nations to align with U.S. efforts against Iran without immediate sanctions. Bessent indicated that the U.S. would sanction a significant foreign financial entity soon and has expanded sanction capabilities across five Iranian economic sectors. While allies support the initiative, skepticism remains regarding its effectiveness, especially concerning China's role in Iranian oil trade. Bessent's approach reflects a desire to avoid disrupting global financial systems while maintaining pressure on Iran.
