Increased US sanctions on Iran make large-scale war less likely: Bessent
WASHINGTON: A plan to ramp up economic sanctions against Iran means the United States is less likely to have to return to heavy military operations against the country, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on Thursday.
"If we are doing the maximum economic pressure, then that means that likely there will not be a large-scale kinetic restart, but I will emphasise that is for now," he told CNBC.
