๐Ÿšจ ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ Bessent: US is no longer managing the Iranian threat, it is ending it

  • ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ Treasury Secretary Bessent says the sanctions drive he calls Operation Economic Outcast has, in under two months, wiped out every layer of ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท Iran's oil revenue, per newswires
  • ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท He says Iran's shadow tanker fleet is depleted, its main oil terminal is empty and its offshore stocks are used up

FO view: A hard US line on Iran keeps the supply risk premium in crude, adding to an oil-led inflation pulse that already has US yields near 5% and pushes back against early Fed easing.
