XLE•Bessent says Iran is responding to sanctions pressure
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on Monday that Iran is taking the U.S. sanctions on it seriously and is lashing out now because it is losing economically.
“I would think that they are lashing out kinetically because they are losing economically,” he told reporters at a meeting of G20 finance ministers and central bank governors in North Carolina.
