(Patriot.Buzz) – Aiming to cripple the regime’s economy, President Donald Trump’s administration is about to launch an “immediate maximum impact” campaign targeting Iran’s oil exports.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced plans to collapse Iran’s financial system by driving oil exports from 1.5 million barrels per day to near zero.
This aggressive strategy aims to force Iran’s dangerous regime to the negotiating table while cutting off its ability to fund terrorism.
Bessent unveiled the administration’s strategy during a meeting with the Economic Club of New York.
He coined the phrase “Making Iran broke again” as the cornerstone of the updated sanctions policy.
The approach represents a return to President Trump’s successful first-term tactics that effectively strangled Iran’s economy before the Biden administration relaxed pressure on the regime.
“The US will exert a campaign of maximum pressure of sanctions on Iran to collapse its oil exports and put pressure on its currency,” Bessent declared.
He made it clear that the administration intends to use America’s economic muscle to achieve critical national security objectives.
This strategic move goes beyond just targeting oil exports. The Treasury Department has already begun imposing sanctions on networks shipping Iranian oil to China, cutting off Tehran’s largest customer.
Additionally, the administration plans to disrupt Iran’s drone manufacturing capabilities – technology that has been used to attack American forces and allies.
Bessent advised Iranians to withdraw money from the rial, Iran’s currency, signaling that the administration expects the value to plummet as sanctions take hold.
This economic warfare strategy aims for “immediate maximum impact” on a regime that continues to destabilize the Middle East while threatening America’s allies.
“Making Iran broke again will mark the beginning of our updated sanctions policy,” Bessent stated, sending a clear message that America will no longer tolerate Iran’s terror activities.
The timing of these sanctions has already impacted global oil markets. U.S. crude oil and Brent prices increased following Bessent’s announcement.
Analysts view the reduction in Iranian oil supply as a positive factor for oil prices.
This development could potentially offset concerns about economic growth and crude demand, which had previously pushed prices down due to President Trump’s strategic tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China.
While the administration’s primary goal is to cripple Iran economically, President Trump has expressed willingness to negotiate a nuclear deal that would allow Iran to prosper peacefully.
This aligns with his 2018 decision to withdraw from the deeply flawed Obama-era Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action nuclear deal.
The plan failed to permanently prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons while lifting sanctions that empowered the regime.
The Trump administration’s renewed sanctions mark a welcome return to strength in American foreign policy after years of appeasement under the previous administration.
By applying maximum economic pressure, President Trump once again demonstrates his commitment to protecting American interests and confronting rogue regimes that threaten global stability.
