BlockBeats News, March 23rd. As the Trump administration continues to escalate its hardline stance on Iran, U.S. Treasury Secretary Benson stated that while the strike on Iran may lead to a short-term price increase, it is expected to yield a “nuclear-free Iran” and long-term stability, emphasizing that “sometimes you have to escalate in order to de-escalate.”
At the same time, Trump issued a 48-hour ultimatum to Iran, threatening to strike its energy infrastructure if it does not open the Strait of Hormuz. This stance has sparked controversy within the United States, with some lawmakers warning that the costs of war and inflationary pressure are spiraling out of control.
