Bessent to announce NEW SANCTIONS against Iran: ‘Economic pressure the only way forward’

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is scheduled to announce new economic sanctions against Iran at a press conference later today. Bessent will reveal what he calls the "toughest sanctions in history." The Trump administration plans to focus on isolating Iran economically, warning other countries to stop doing business with Tehran. The administration will use the quote "full might" of the United States to enforce the new rules. Iran is dismissing the threat of sanctions, saying it can counter and will maintain economic ties with other nations. The Morning Joe panel discusses this latest tactic by the Trump administration as the war with Iran rages on.
