WASHINGTON — Iran’s beleaguered economy will soon have “nothing to trade” in about two weeks after it makes its final oil deliveries, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent claimed.
Bessent assessed that the Islamic Republic is becoming desperate to make a deal because of its collapsing economy, hastened by Operation Economic Outcast, and warned that its problems will get dramatically worse in two weeks.
“I am confident, given that there’s only 15 million more barrels of Iranian oil on the water, that Iran will have nothing left to trade for anything,” Bessent told Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures.”
“Probably within the next two weeks, they are going to make their final deliveries of oil to China, and then they will have nothing,” Bessent added. “It is an empty set. And I believe that they are feeling the pressure here, and that’s why they want a deal.”
Since the Memorandum of Understanding with Iran collapsed in July, the US has implemented a sweeping blockade around the regime, cutting off vessels from entering or leaving the war-torn nation.
Bessent announced Operation Economic Outcast last month, in which the administration mounted an even more aggressive push to tighten the screws on the regime by targeting foreign countries and companies doing business with it.
Last week, top Iranian officials pushed for their seven-day ceasefire proposal in which they would open up the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for the US unfreezing roughly $12 billion in frozen assets, lifting the blockade and easing sanctions.
But President Trump rejected that deal, telling reporters that it was not acceptable.

Taqiyyah is incompatible among modern global communications capable societies. Sure, if you just want to control the peasants, you can pull it off, but not among global communities. Just keep calling them out on their bullcrap.
Xi will just feed them money under the guise of pre-payments for shipments to take place on a later date to be determined.
If there is nothing left, then why does Trump think this war will last until the midterms?
We win again! How many times do we have to win?
Because he knows sleeper cells (and thier supporters) will be activated over the next few months to try to influence the mid-term elections.
We won’t know who they are until they begin their operation. And they only have to succeed once, while we have to be 100% successful in stopping them.
Just two weeks. He doesn’t say “which” two weeks. But I am sure that at some time in the future they will have issues in two weeks.
Is that before they are annihilated by Trumps bombs? Because evidently thats not happening until after November.
The administration should take notes from Glen Beck and Sean Hannity…because they do the “its coming soon” schtick better.
This will be the first time since the Islamic Republic regime took power in 1979, that they will be operating without a geyser of hard currency from oil revenues.
It is going to be a serious train wreck for the regime to manage, especially with their real economy and currency already in crisis.
I’m pretty sure Soros and Singham will gladly bail Iran out. All of the “media” outlets here will also be glad to pitch in. Those people had Americans and President Trump.
Stop talking about making a deal. Iran has not honored one agreement since 1979 and they’re not about to start now. The only “deal” that makes sense is one where the IRGC and the current regime relinquish power and agree to open and free elections within 90 days. Those elections will be monitored by the US and whomever the UN agrees to help supervise those elections.
I take Trump's claim that the war will be over right after the midterms as an admission that that is when he plans to surrender. Of course he will call it a victory, but it will be the US not Iran pulling back and giving up.
Yay so two more weeks and gas will be back to $2.50 a gallon .

Brent crude has been dropping for the last few days...
Brent is EU, Asia. We’re WTI which is up 1.48% so far overnight.
This should have happened 47 years ago. Finally a president who has the courage to do it. Thank you President Trump. The world will be a better place because of it.
Few want to face the fact we went thru this for over 11 years with Iraq prior to OIF (1991-2003).
ISIS took 8 years of Whack-a-Moling, 2014 - 2022.
