U.S. Treasury Secretary: U.S. Economic and Financial Pressure is Choking Iran

BlockBeats News, May 4th, U.S. Treasury Secretary Yellen stated that the economic and financial pressure imposed by the United States is choking Iran, hinting that the Tehran regime will be forced to compromise.

“Over the past 12 months, we have been running a marathon and we are now racing towards the finish line,” Yellen said in an interview with Fox News on Sunday. Iran "cannot pay its soldiers. This is a real economic blockade.” Yellen said that as oil storage facilities are rapidly filling up, Iran may start shutting down oil wells in the next week.
