U.S. Treasury Secretary Besant stated that Iran will inevitably lose the zero-sum game it is playing. Any damage caused by Iran to U.S. allies in the Gulf region will be compensated using funds extracted from Iranian accounts. Additionally, any tolls paid to the "Strait of Hormuz Authority" will be offset by deductions from these accounts. Besant emphasized that each attack by Iran will only exacerbate its economic and financial repercussions.
