Last week Treasury Man Scott Bessent unveiled Operation Economic Fury to put maximum financial pressure on the hoodlums running the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. I\u2019d like to give that economic fury some more visibility, because I think blockading Iran ports, which will keep the regime out of the money, along with a banking freeze, are two major weapons that will eventually bring the regime to an end.<\/p>\n
We know the Iranian ports are being successfully blocked, and it won\u2019t be long until their revenue dries up, and the IRGC, which is basically a government cartel mafioso business operation, won\u2019t even be able to make payroll in the next couple of weeks and their retirement plans will go bust. More than $400 million of losses on a daily basis can really hurt a company. Let\u2019s go a step further. These mob thugs all have bank accounts overseas with the money they have extorted and robbed the citizenry of Iran. Billions and billions of dollars are undoubtedly at stake.<\/p>\n

I say these Iranian bank accounts should be seized. Places like Turkey, the UAE, Qatar, Azerbaijan, Pakistan, and I\u2019m sure many others, should hand over the Iranian deposits, and then they could be placed in escrow in a special war account in the Treasury Department. You could say freezing the assets is enough, but I don\u2019t think so. Actual seizure is more comprehensive. And any of these countries who refuse to comply with Operation Economic Fury will be subject to secondary sanctions and tariffs.<\/p>\n
For example, that means any transactions by these foreign banks with America and hopefully its allies, would be removed from the international Swift payments ledger system, and would no longer be eligible to undertake financial transactions governed by the New York Fed wire in the United States. This would maximize the financial pressure on the Iranian regime. They have been stealing money and looting the Iranian treasury for decades.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m sure they tried to diversify their international portfolios. And for a long time they\u2019ve been getting away with it because they own all these Iranian businesses. And that\u2019s one reason they\u2019re clinging to power against all odds of losing this war to America and Israel.<\/p>\n
Ret. U.S. Navy SEAL Mike Sarraille discusses the feasibility of the U.S. Navy clearing Iranian mines in the Strait of Hormuz and the impact of a blockade on the regime on \u2018Kudlow.\u2019<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s one of the key points Mr. Bessent made: “One of the what may prove to be fatal mistakes that the Iranians made was bombing” their “neighbors” in the Gulf Cooperation Council, “and who are now willing to be much more transparent in terms of the funds.”<\/p>\n
And it\u2019s not just oil money, it\u2019s the non-oil businesses the IRGC thugs have taken over throughout the years.<\/p>\n
Mr. Bessent suggested a freeze which is okay, but frankly I think seizure is more powerful, and I think secondary sanctions are still more powerful.<\/p>\n
Banking, blockading, and the final Iranian financial squeeze. We are coming to the end game.<\/p>\n
