United States of America: 24 press conferences on actions against Iran

On 21 August, at local time, on 20 August, United States Treasury Secretary Besent indicated that he would hold a press conference on 24 August, specifically outlining the United States action plan for Iran. The President of the United States, Donald Trump, warned on 19 September that any country providing Iran with “any form of lifeline” would face economic consequences. According to Becent, “We have asymmetrical information, and I am not sure why oil issues are the focus of attention, and if we exert maximum economic pressure, it means that it is unlikely that a large-scale military conflict will break out.” (opinion)
