US: “You Are Either With Us or Against Us” – Treasury Targets Iran’s Partners

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has issued a stark warning to countries and companies doing business with Iran: choose sides. In a statement on Sunday, Bessent vowed to escalate pressure on Tehran by targeting its economic partners, declaring, “You are either with us, or against us.” The Treasury chief is scheduled to outline the specific measures on Monday, according to a report from Bloomberg’s Tyler Kendall. While the exact details of the plan remain under wraps, the message is clear: Washington is moving beyond direct sanctions on Iran to punish those who enable its economy. This shift signals a more aggressive phase in US policy, aimed at isolating Iran financially on a global scale. For businesses and governments that have maintained trade ties with Tehran, the coming days could bring difficult choices. The administration’s stance leaves little room for neutrality, as it seeks to cut off the financial lifelines that sustain the Iranian regime.
