"The US Treasury will continue to apply maximum pressure through Economic Fury to systematically degrade Tehran’s ability to generate, move, and repatriate funds. Any person or vessel facilitating these flows—through covert trade and finance—risks exposure to US sanctions. We continue to freeze the funds stolen by the corrupt leadership on behalf of the people of Iran," Bessent wrote on X.A White House official stated that the US delegation's planned visit to Iran had been postponed pending receipt of a proposal from the Iranian side. President Donald Trump separately announced that the United States would extend the ceasefire with Iran while sustaining its naval blockade of Iranian ports.
