Trump threatens and imposes additional sanctions on Iran: the conflict continues to heat up

In his words, the president made it clear that the main purpose of sending the large concentration of ships to the region is an attempt to reach a settlement with Tehran, but left the options open in case of a failure of contacts. “We’re sending a larger number of ships to Iran, hoping we’ll make a deal,” Trump said. “If we reach an agreement, that’s good, and if not, we’ll see what happens.”

As published in the announcement of the Ministry of Finance, Treasury Secretary Scott Besant stated that President Trump stands resolutely on the side of the Iranian people and ordered to intensify the economic pressure on the corrupt elites. Besant noted that the regime’s senior officials are trying to smuggle stolen funds to financial institutions around the world “like rats on a sinking ship”, instead of investing in the welfare of the citizens.
