US Treasury Secretary Bessent defends the US and Israel's attack on Iranian infrastructure, stating that "it must be escalated to de-escalate the situation."

Gate News reports that on March 22, U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen defended the U.S. and Israel's attacks on Iranian infrastructure, claiming "sometimes you have to escalate to de-escalate." Previously, Trump threatened to close the Strait of Hormuz— a vital global oil shipping route— within 48 hours and warned of destroying Iran's power plants. Yellen defended Trump's remarks, saying they are "the only language Iranians understand." She also discussed Iran's key oil hub, Kharg Island, asserting that "all options are under consideration," including deploying U.S. troops to control the island. Additionally, Yellen justified the decision to relax some sanctions on Iran, claiming it is a form of "judo," using Iran's own oil to counter them.
