The imminent announcement of the impending financial penalties follows Bessent\u2019s comments on CNBC Friday that the US would \u201ccollapse the regime\u201d with the \u201ctoughest sanctions in history\u201d as President Trump warned any nation providing \u201cany type of lifeline\u201d to Iran would face their own economic consequences.<\/p>\n

\u201cPresident Trump has dismantled Iran\u2019s military capabilities, destroyed nearly 100 percent of its military factories and buried its nuclear program,\u201d Bessent wrote Sunday night on X.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are now entering the endgame. As dawn begins an economic D-Day \u2013 the single greatest financial offensive ever marshaled against an adversary,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n

Tehran last week pledged \u201ccrushing, punishing and devastating\u201d consequences should the US move ahead with its planned crippling sanctions.<\/p>\n

But Bessent seemingly batted down the threat in his Sunday social media post.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Islamic Republic has subsisted by dressing extortion as security guarantees. It has drawn strength from a calculus that regards Iranian retaliation as certain and American enforcement as negotiable,\u201d he wrote<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

\u201cUnder President Trump, that era is over. And those who fear the danger of defying Tehran ought not to discount the cost of testing Washington.\u201d<\/p>\n
