Bessent: Uvest ćemo Iranu najstrože sankcije u povijesti

SAD će Iranu uvesti "najstrože sankcije u povijesti", rekao je u četvrtak ministar financija Scott Bessent, dodavši kako bi ekonomske mjere trebale smanjiti potrebu za novim velikim vojnim operacijama protiv Teherana.

Njegova je izjava uslijedila nakon što je predsjednik Donald Trump dan ranije zaprijetio "ekonomskim ratom" i upozorio na gospodarske posljedice za svaku zemlju koja omogući "bilo kakvu vrstu spasa Iranu".

Bessent je za CNBC kazao da će u ponedjeljak na konferenciji za novinare iznijeti više pojedinosti i "govoriti o tomu što ćemo točno učiniti" Iranu.

"To je dvostruki udarac. Imamo blokadu (Irana) i imat ćemo najstrože sankcije u povijesti", izjavio je.

"To će funkcionirati. Srušit ćemo taj režim. Vrijeme je da naši saveznici i ostatak svijeta donesu odluku", istaknuo je Bessent. "Ili ste s nama ili protiv nas".

Na pitanje hoće li Sjedinjene Države ciljati Kinu zbog poslovanja s Iranom Bessent je odgovorio da je razgovore najbolje voditi u privatnosti.

"Imajte na umu da Kinezi dobivaju 50 posto svoje energije iz Zaljeva. Dakle, bilo bi im od velike koristi da se uključe u program", rekao je.

Iran gotovo 50 godina, od Islamske revolucije 1979., trpi gotovo kontinuirane ekonomske sankcije.

(FILES) The German navy's minehunter boat "Fulda" leaves the harbour of Kiel, northern Germany, on May 4, 2026, to set sail for the Mediterranean as part of a pre-deployment operation in preparation for a possible mission in the Strait of Hormuz. The German navy will move two vessels from the Red Sea region to the eastern Mediterannean "in the coming days", the defence ministry said in a statement on July 23, 2026. The "Fulda" minesweeper and the "Mosel" supply ship were currently in Djibouti, a ministry spokesman confirmed to AFP. They had been sent last month in preparation for a possible mission in the Strait of Hormuz after the end of the US-Iran war. However the ministry statement cited the "the volatile political situation... and the absence of any foreseeable near-term start of operations" in the Strait of Hormuz.

CORRECTION/A fire burns outside the grounds of the US Embassy headquarters in Baghdad's fortified "Green Zone" on March 17, 2026 following a drone and rocket attack according to security officials. The strikes came hours after air defences thwarted a rocket attack at the embassy and a drone sparked a fire at a luxury hotel frequented by foreign diplomats in the Green Zone. Iraq was drawn into the Middle East war after having long been a proxy battleground between the US and Iran, with strikes targeting Iran-backed groups that have claimed daily attacks on US interests in Iraq and across the region.
