New claims by Scott Bessant, the US Treasury Secretary, about Iran.
Iran would eventually like to reach an agreement.
Basant: We will continue to put pressure on Iran and will not hesitate to impose additional sanctions.
American Treasury Secretary Scott emphasized his country's decision to continue putting pressure on Iran and not hesitate to impose additional sanctions against it.
In an interview with the CNBC channel in the country, the US Treasury Secretary stated that his country will continue to put pressure on Iran and will not hesitate to impose additional sanctions against Iranian banks.
While acknowledging that Iran has rattled the world's energy markets, Basant argued that the U.S. will be able to weather the fallout, and with gasoline prices down, it will likely see some comforting inflation data released next week.
