Summary
In a move that sets up another potential collision course with Beijing, US Treasury Scott Bessent this week declared an “economic D-Day” on Iran, seeking to sever its remaining financial lifelines by hitting collaborators with sanctions. China has condemned the sanctions as unilateral measures that will only worsen conflicts and called for a return to negotiations. Anyone who continues to do business with Iran, they warn, will face the same kinds of US sanctions as Iran itself.
Furthermore, Bessent is certainly sounding pretty threatening: he is not only promising to launch “the single greatest financial offensive ever” against Iran, one that will “block every potential source of revenue”, and promising to target any nation that continues to trade with Iran against the USA’s wishes. Any move by the US to truly strangle Iran’s finances would have to take aim at its trade ties with China, and in particular, the Chinese banks processing oil payment transactions.
The same facts are framed differently: Left — “regime” ; Center — “regime”, “invasion”.
