US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent made a statement regarding the 'Economic Isolation Operation' against Iran, announced by US President Donald Trump on August 20. In a post on his social media account, Bessent said, "The European Union has officially joined the 'Economic Isolation Operation' against Iran. We welcome the European Union's firm stance and early steps on this matter."
