> Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the US plans to impose new sanctions every week on entities cooperating with Iran to increase pressure on Tehran. Banks will be targeted first, and he plans to warn G20 finance officials that ties with Iran could bring sanctions. Washington also threatens secondary sanctions and loss of dollar access for countries that do not comply, while Bessent says he wants to avoid a confrontation that could damage the global financial system.
