US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said that Washington is going to apply measures that have "never been seen" on Iran.

"Watch this ⁠space for more announcements ​coming next week because we ​are going to apply measures like have never been seen in ​the history of economic ​isolation on a country," Bessent said during an ⁠interview on Newsmax's Rob Schmitt Tonight programme.

"It will be a combination of economic ​isolation like ​the ⁠world has never seen before, and the ​continued blockade in the ​Strait ⁠of Hormuz that will keep anything from going in ⁠or ​out of ​the Iranian ports," he added.
