svd.se (Swedish)

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent threatened comprehensive sanctions against countries refusing to sever economic ties with Iran, aiming to isolate Tehran completely. Bessent stated the goal is to cut every economic lifeline sustaining the Iranian regime until it stands alone. He declined to specify a deadline for nations to comply, citing quiet diplomacy as the preferred approach. The threat follows ongoing US pressure on Iran's economy. Bessent emphasized clarifying expectations to each country individually rather than public ultimatums.
