Bessent warns: 'Endgame' with Iran is near
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says the Iran confrontation is entering its “endgame" as Washington prepares an unprecedented economic offensive
Assessment
The US Treasury Secretary is signaling that the economic campaign against Iran is about to intensify sharply. Calling it an endgame suggests Washington believes the current pressure strategy is reaching a decisive phase, not that a military conflict is imminent. The key question is whether this economic offensive can force a change in Iranian behavior or if it will push the region toward a more dangerous standoff. Watch for specific new sanctions or financial measures in the coming days.
