🇺🇸🇪🇺 EU eagerly joins US campaign to economically strangle Iran 💬 "The European Union has officially joined Operation Economic Outcast and we appreciate their strong and early stance," US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent declared on X. 💬 "The EU has adopted extensive sanctions to prevent Iran from exploiting the global economy and financial system to sustain its hostile actions and undermine international security," the EU said in its statement. "Operation Economic Outcast" was launched by the US Treasury on August 24 at Trump’s direction as a whole-of-government campaign to “sever every economic lifeline” connecting Iran to the global economy. The operation expands secondary-sanctions risks, pressures third countries to halt Iran-related activity, and targets financial, oil, shipping, and technology channels. The EU is now stepping up as a subservient US accomplice, accelerating the campaign of economic strangulation to topple the Iranian government. It is piling illegal sanctions on top of more than six months of US military aggression that has utterly failed to force Iran into submission. 📌 Subscribe to @SputnikInt
