Bessent: Iranian Economy Could Collapse in Weeks or Months

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent predicted the Iranian economy would soon collapse and force Tehran to comply with President Donald Trump’s demands.

In an interview with CNBC on Monday, Bessent said that he believes the Iranian economy could collapse “within weeks or months.” He continued, “We just have to have the regime come to their senses.” 

Last week, the Treasury chief announced Operation Economic Outcast. The economic war is intended to cut Tehran from its international partners. . .
