🔸 The US Treasury Secretary described the campaign of economic pressure on Iran as "very successful" and says that cutting access to dollars caused the Salami Republic to stop funding its proxy groups in the region.
🔸Scott Bessant, on the afternoon of Wednesday, November 5, in an interview with CNBC about the economic pressures on Iran in the form of a program known as "Operation Economic Exclusion", said that internal estimates show that Iran's economy may shrink by 25% within a year.
He added that Salami Republic officials "began to express clear concern about the economic situation in the summer. "Now, the Revolutionary Guards are very worried and they are talking about a collapse in public and in private circles."
Scott Bessant also said that Iran is cutting off funding to its proxy groups, including the Houthis in Yemen, Hezbollah in Lebanon and the extremist group Hamas.
In recent months, in addition to the naval blockade of Iran, the Trump administration has greatly increased the economic pressure on the Salami Republic with the aim of limiting its financial resources and oil revenues.
