The U.S. Treasury Secretary reports on the widespread withdrawal of money by officials of the Islamic Republic
Scott Besant, the U.S. Treasury Secretary, announced that today’s developments in Iran are a direct result of the maximum pressure campaign by Donald Trump’s administration
In a television interview, Besant stated that the Trump administration, by focusing on Iran’s oil exports, has tried to block the main financial sources of the government and emphasized that the result of this policy has been a widespread financial collapse within the country
He also reported on the intensification of capital flight coinciding with the expansion of protests in Iran and said the Treasury Department, responsible for enforcing sanctions, now sees that the rats are leaving the ship. We are witnessing the withdrawal of millions and tens of millions of dollars by Iran’s leadership, money that is being secretly taken out of the country
The U.S. Treasury Secretary added that the department sees clear signs of widespread capital withdrawal by the officials of the Islamic Republic and emphasized that we are tracking the money, whether through the traditional banking system or via digital assets. These assets are being traced, and they will not be able to keep them
