Iran's Supreme National Security Council Secretary Rezaei stated that US Treasury Secretary Bessant is known in the US as a "lying minister." He said that Bessant has made a series of statements and promises over the past year, but has failed to deliver. "This man wants to confront the Iranian people and wage war against their livelihoods. I am convinced that he will suffer a devastating defeat. Just as the Americans lost in military war, we will defeat them in economic war. We have already made plans in advance, and we will announce a series of economic defense measures."
