U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent issued a sharp warning to America’s allies, urging Europe, the Middle East, and Asia to intensify efforts against Iran’s financial and sanctions-evasion networks amid escalating tensions tied to the ongoing Iran conflict. Speaking at an anti-terror financing conference following G7 meetings in Paris, Bessent called for coordinated global action against Iranian financiers, shell companies, proxy groups, shadow banking systems, and covert shipping operations. He said allies must “stand with us in full measure” as the Trump administration ramps up its “Economic Fury” campaign against Tehran. The Treasury Department also announced plans to modernize U.S. sanctions enforcement for the “21st century,” including reviewing outdated sanctions designations to focus on more advanced terrorist financing and sanctions evasion tactics. Officials say the strategy aims to make sanctions more aggressive, targeted, and adaptable while avoiding long-term harm to civilian populations. Bessent’s remarks come as Washington increases pressure on Iran over regional instability, disrupted oil flows, and ongoing geopolitical tensions involving U.S. and Israeli actions in the Middle East. #ScottBessent #Iran #Trump #Sanctions #MiddleEast #USPolitics #WorldNews #IranWar #Geopolitics #Treasury
