Becent called the EU accession to the U.S. economic pressure on Iran

On 4 September, according to Al Jazeera, United States finance chief Becent indicated that the European Union had formally joined the United States economic pressure campaign against Iran. By letter, Bésente stated that Washington “appreciates its strong and timely position”. He said: “The United States stands firmly with its allies to ensure that the Iranian regime cannot use the global financial system to finance its nuclear ambitions, weapons programmes and terrorist agents.” “The world is sending a clear message to the Iranian regime that we will spare no effort until all its remaining financial lifelines are cut off.” At the end of last month, the EU stated in a statement that it would “continue to exert pressure on Iran, in close cooperation with the United States, other G-7 member States and international partners, and commit to de-escalating the situation and maintaining regional stability”.
