U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on the evening of August 13 local time that Washington will take unprecedented measures against Iran, according to a BlockBeats flash report dated August 14. Speaking in an interview, Bessent said the measures would pair economic isolation of a kind not seen before with a sustained blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, cutting off all access in and out of Iranian ports. He asked the public to follow closely for more announcements next week, saying more details are expected then. The flash report, citing Jinshi as its original source, did not explain how the blockade would be enforced or which specific actions would fall under the economic isolation described. Bessent repeated the word unprecedented while outlining the scope of the steps. The statement was published through BlockBeats' 7x24 flash channel as a brief item, with no other details included.
