Iran Threatens U.S. Allies

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is expected on Monday to announce new U.S. economic measures against Iran, following President Donald Trump’s threat of the “MOST CRUSHING ECONOMIC OPERATION EVER TAKEN AGAINST ANY COUNTRY!” Iran’s new top security official warned neighboring states that cooperation with Washington would make them “enemies” and expose their interests to retaliation. President Masoud Pezeshkian defended a memorandum of understanding with the U.S. as the best path out of the stalled war. Iran’s parliamentary speaker also publicly urged ending the conflict while hardliners press resistance.
