2:49Now PlayingTreasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Monday said the U.S. will seek to cut off all revenue sources for Iran by targeting countries and entities that continue to facilitate business with Tehran.
"Beginning today, the actions of Treasury and other agencies will tighten the noose and block every potential source of revenue that funds the IRGC and the evil Iranian regime," he said. "We are enforcing a zero-leakage approach."
He said President Trump would be directly reaching out to world leaders with "specific requests to cease their interactions" with Iran.
"Those who stand with the United States will reap the rewards of our partnership," he said. "Those who tether themselves to the Iranian regime should expect to share in the isolation of a withering regime."
He said any entity that facilitates money laundering on behalf of Iran "will be removed from the U.S. dollar system."
"The clock just started ticking," he said.
