US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant said in an interview with CNBC that Washington's economic pressure against the Islamic Republic has reached a stage where Tehran is facing problems in providing dollars and paying the salaries of its military forces. "They can't pay their soldiers," Besant said. More importantly, they cannot earn dollars and therefore are unable to replenish their resources. He added that the financial restrictions of the Islamic Republic have also affected the groups supported by Tehran and the financial resources of the Houthis, Hamas and Hezbollah are cut off. The American Treasury Secretary wrote in X that as part of the "Economic Exclusion" operation, the financing methods of the Islamic Republic are disappearing, and Tehran is facing a problem in transferring funds. He added that according to reports, the Revolutionary Guards faced problems even in paying the salaries of its soldiers. Besant emphasized that America is trying to limit the ability of the Islamic Republic to finance the Houthis, Hamas and Hezbollah.
