U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent threatened on Thursday that the United States would launch the greatest coordinated economic isolation in world history against Iran, while the Iranian side expressed strong condemnation, denouncing the sanctions as "economic terrorism."
Speaking in an interview, Bessent said further details about the plan would be announced at a press conference next Monday.
His remarks came a day after President Donald Trump warned that any country providing "any type of lifeline" to Iran would face severe economic consequences.
On the same day, Iran's Foreign Ministry issued a statement slamming the United States for imposing extensive economic and commercial sanctions against the country.
The statement describes the sanctions as "economic terrorism" and a "crime against humanity," saying they target the fundamental human rights of every Iranian citizen.
It adds that Iran remains steadfast in defending its security and national interests, and will continue to confront America's military, economic, political and psychological pressures.
