U.S. threatens Iran's trading partners with sanctions
Washington is sharply expanding economic pressure on Iran. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says the new measures will not only target Iranian revenue but also pressure foreign companies and governments to reduce their dealings with Tehran. That turns the war into a global sanctions confrontation, with China facing a particularly difficult choice between accommodating U.S. pressure and protecting its own energy and trade interests.

Why it matters

Editorial boundary
Still open: whether further independent sources confirm, correct or merely repeat the same development. The trust level describes the source trail, not absolute truth.
