— U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent on Iran:Everyone wants this to end. It is 47 years with this evil regime and the world's had it with them.
The Persian people are great people. There is this repressive regime on top. Either the regime is going to change within, the people are going to come up, or we'll see what happens.
We are going to economically suffocate them. They're in what I call the "jaws of economic death."
The currency is collapsing, and they have zero oil exports.
