What was reported
A plain summary of this topic, built from the channels that covered it.
The United States is pressing its allies and China to join a new campaign to economically isolate Iran, with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent saying that tough new sanctions will come into force next week. President Trump described the measures as the most crushing economic operation ever taken against any country, while Iran's foreign minister dismissed them as a diversion from America's own economic problems. The coverage noted that the conflict is approaching the six-month mark and that China is a key target because it buys a large share of Iranian oil. Analysts and commentators expressed differing views on whether further sanctions would be effective, with some pointing to Iran's existing heavy sanctions and others suggesting the US may escalate. President Trump was also reported to have claimed total control of the Strait of Hormuz and cited high inflation in Iran.
