Bessent spoke with The Associated Press ahead of Group of 20 meetings in Asheville, North Carolina, where he will meet individually with his counterparts from the world’s major and developing economies to encourage participation in the economic isolation of Iran.

“This is going to be financial violence if we have to,” Bessent said in the interview. “We are showing people that we know who you are, you know who you are, and this has got to stop.”

Bessent had recently announced a new campaign to push countries that still do business with the already heavily sanctioned Islamic Republic to sever their financial ties or face retaliation from the United States.

The Treasury Department on Friday moved to sanction the United Arab Emirates branch of an Egyptian bank over its financial ties to Iran.

Treasury intends to revoke the access of Banque Misr UAE to U.S. financial institutions, the department said in a statement.

The action comes four days after Bessent launched “Operation Economic Outcast,” a sanctions campaign that aims to sever all of Iran’s economic ties around the world.
