JAKARTA - Director of the White House National Economic Council Kevin Hassett said Iran is facing very heavy economic pressure that a country can experience.
"Iran is facing economic pressures that are almost at the maximum limit that a country can experience," Hassett said in an interview with CNBC, Monday, April 11, as reported by ANTARA from Sputnik.
He added that Iranian negotiators want to reach an agreement with the United States soon because the country's economy is said to be close to collapse.
Last week, US President Donald Trump said he hoped the Iranian financial system would collapse because he said it would be a victory for the US.
Previously, on April 16, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the Department of the Treasury launched an "Economic Fury" operation against Iran to maximize economic pressure on the country.
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent also said the government would continue to implement the policy of maximum economic pressure on Iran.
