The US Treasury Secretary has threatened Iran with 'the single greatest financial offensive ever', claiming the US-Israel war with Iran is 'entering its endgame'.

Scott Bessent's threat to the Iranian regime follows several U-turns and extended deadlines from US President Donald Trump's administration on previous threats.

Iran dismissed Bessent's comments and said it would shut down all oil exports from the region 'if the war continues'.
