The American Treasury launches an unprecedented operation 'Economic Fury', aimed at increasing pressure on Tehran. The goal is to force Iran to make a 'wise decision', as stated by Secretary of War Pete Hegset, emphasizing that this initiative was previously called 'Epic Fury'.
Launch of 'Economic Fury'
The U.S. Department of the Treasury has officially announced the launch of a large-scale operation called 'Economic Fury'. Its main goal is to exert maximum pressure on Tehran to force the Iranian leadership to make a 'wise choice'. This was stated by U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegset during a recent briefing.
Background and Official Statement
Notably, this same American initiative against Iran was previously called 'Epic Fury'. Hegset quoted: 'Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and our friends at the Treasury are launching the operation “Economic Fury,” intensifying economic pressure… so that Iran makes the right choice.'
Military Power and Alternatives
Secretary Hegset also reminded of the impressive capabilities of the American military. He emphasized that they 'have already transitioned from large-scale combat operations to a world-class blockade.' This transition, he said, could be repeated 'very quickly and even more powerfully than ever before.'
Nuclear Program and Diplomacy
According to direct instructions from U.S. President Donald Trump, the Pentagon is firmly committed to preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. Hegset noted that the U.S. prefers a 'deal' under the leadership of Vice President J.D. Vance. However, he did not rule out the possibility of a 'difficult path' if diplomacy does not yield the desired results.
Firm Position of the Treasury
Scott Bessent, the Treasury Secretary, confirmed the department's determination regarding the 'Economic Fury' operation. He stated that the Treasury is prepared to 'use all available tools and authorities against those who continue to support Iran's terrorist activities.' This underscores Washington's uncompromising approach.
