US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has declared that America is currently "suffocating" Iran through intense financial and economic constraints, predicting that the leadership in Tehran is nearing a point of collapse.

In an interview with Fox News' Sunday Morning Futures, the Treasury Secretary indicated that the pressure campaign has reached a critical phase. "We have been running a marathon over the past 12 months, and now we are sprinting toward the finish line," Bessent remarked.
