U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Iran:
We created a dollar shortage in the country. It came to a swift conclusion.I would say the culmination came in December, when one of the largest banks in Iran went under after a bank run. The central bank had to print money.
The Iranian currency went into free fall, inflation exploded, and as a result, we’ve seen the Iranian people out on the streets.
I hope there's now no doubt about the root cause of the protests in Iran? Or do we still need to provide official docs?
