Waziri wa Hazina wa Marekani, Scott Bessent, ameeleza kwa undani kuhusu mkakati mkali wa kuibana kiuchumi Iran. Ameonya kuwa serikali ya Trump inaweza kuzinyima benki, makampuni, au taasisi nyingine zinazofanya biashara na utawala huo fursa ya kutumia mfumo wa kifedha unaotegemea Dola ya Marekani.
Bessent alisema kuwa Marekani imebaini akaunti za nje za Jeshi la Iran (IRGC) zinazoshikiliwa na makampuni ya amana, pamoja na majengo yao ya kifahari kote duniani.
"Hicho ndicho kilichoipata benki hii ya Dubai, na inaweza kuzikuta taasisi yoyote, ikiwemo makampuni ya kukodisha ndege, ambayo tutakuwa tukiyafuatilia. Inaweza kuwa mtu yeyote anayefanya biashara na IRGC. Tunafuatilia rasilimali zote za IRGC, na nasema hivi kwenye runinga ya kimataifa ili mjue: tunazijua akaunti zenu zilipo kwenye makampuni ya amana katika Visiwa vya British Virgin, tunazijua nyumba za mamilioni ya dola mzozo nazo duniani kote, na tutazizuia," Bessent alionya.
"Tunazungumza na washirika wetu ili kufunga kila kitu. Hivyo basi, tutazifuatilia rasilimali haramu za utawala huo walizowadhulumu wananchi wa Iran; na rasilimali hizo zinaweza kurudishwa kwa wananchi wa Iran, au zikagawiwa kwa waathirika wa vitendo vya kigaidi, kama vile familia za wanajeshi waliokuwa kwenye meli ya USS Cole," Bessent aliongeza.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent detailed an aggressive campaign of economic "asphyxiation" against Iran, warning that the Trump administration could strip banks, firms or other entities that do business with the regime of access to the U.S. dollar-based financial system.
Bessent said the U.S. had identified the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ (IRGC's) offshore accounts held by trust companies and luxury real estate holdings.
"Countries that go against this embargo, you'll cut them off," Kudlow prefaced, referencing the U.S. naval blockade of Iranian ports. "Secondary sanctions, you take them out of the U.S. dollar system, you'd take them out of the U.S. banking system, you take them out of the Federal Reserve wire, take them out of the SWIFT ledger?"
"That's what happened to this bank in Dubai, and it could be entities, it could be airline leasing companies, which we'll be looking at. It could be anyone who does business with the IRGC, we are tracking down the IRGC's assets, and I will say it on worldwide TV, just so you know," Bessent warned, "we know where in the British Virgin Islands your accounts are at these trust companies, we know the $100 million houses you have around the world, and we are going to freeze those."
"We are going to our partners, we are going to close all of that down. So we are going to go after the regime's illegitimate assets that they have stolen from the Iranian people, and those can go back to the Iranian people, or they can go to the victims of terror, like the families of the soldiers who are on the USS Cole," Bessent continued.
