(StraightShooterNews.com) – Targeting the rogue nation’s oil exports to collapse its economy, President Donald Trump’s administration has unveiled a powerful initiative called “Make Iran Broke Again.”
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced this aggressive approach to maximum pressure sanctions during a meeting with the Economic Club of New York.
The plan aims to reduce Iran’s oil exports from 1.5 million barrels per day to virtually zero, striking at the heart of the regime’s financial lifeline.
The Treasury Department has already begun implementing this strategy by imposing sanctions on networks shipping Iranian oil to China.
“The US will exert a campaign of maximum pressure of sanctions on Iran to collapse its oil exports and put pressure on its currency,” Bessent declared, signaling the administration’s commitment to immediate and decisive action.
This approach marks a return to President Trump’s previous successful sanctions policy that severely weakened the Iranian regime before the Biden administration handed it a lifeline.
Beyond targeting oil exports, the sanctions will disrupt Iran’s drone manufacturing capabilities and cut off its access to the international financial system.
These thorough measures aim to eliminate multiple revenue streams for the terrorist-supporting regime, which has used its oil wealth to fund attacks against American interests and allies throughout the Middle East.
By striking at multiple economic pillars at the same time, the Trump administration is creating a perfect storm of financial pressure.
The impact of these sanctions was immediately felt in global markets. U.S. crude oil and Brent prices climbed following Bessent’s announcement.
This market response validates the strategy’s potency and shows that President Trump’s approach to energy security strengthens America’s position while weakening its adversaries.
Energy analysts view the reduction in Iranian oil supply as a positive factor for stabilizing global oil prices, particularly as OPEC+ plans to gradually increase supply starting in April.
In a bold move targeting the Iranian currency, Bessent even advised Iranians to withdraw their money from the rial, anticipating its collapse under the weight of these sanctions.
This psychological warfare component aims to speed up economic pressure by triggering capital flight and internal financial panic.
The Treasury Secretary’s warning serves as a clear signal to ordinary Iranians that their government’s economic mismanagement combined with America’s sanctions will lead to financial ruin unless the regime changes course.
President Trump has indicated his preference for a peaceful resolution, expressing willingness to negotiate a nuclear deal that would allow Iran to prosper.
Unlike the previous administration’s appeasement policies that emboldened Iran, President Trump’s strategy leaves no option for the regime except compliance or collapse.
The new sanctions policy represents a return to strength after years of weakness under Biden, who abandoned President Trump’s successful maximum pressure campaign when he took office.
That retreat allowed Iran to rebuild its oil export business and fund its nuclear program and terrorist proxies throughout the region.
With President Trump back in charge, America is once again standing firm against the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism, demonstrating that appeasement of enemies is no longer U.S. policy.
