U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent: Iran Leadership in the Dark as Blockade Continues

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says Iran's leadership is in the dark as the U.S. blockade of the Strait of Hormuz continues, citing a hard currency shortage and international isolation.

It is very difficult for rats in a sewer pipe to know what’s going on in the outside world. Some color for the Iranian Leadership as they literally sit in the dark:

The United States has complete control of the Strait of Hormuz.
There is a hard currency, i.e. U.S. dollar, shortage.
Food and gasoline rationing are in place.
The entire international community has turned against you.
The BLOCKADE will continue, until there is pre-February 27 Freedom of Navigation.

The U.S. Navy’s blockade is revealing a hole in Tehran’s strategy of guerrilla warfare and controlling the Strait of Hormuz https://on.wsj.com/4951PoE
