The alliance that our two nations have built over the centuries and for which we are profoundly grateful to the American people is truly unique.

And that alliance is part of what Henry Kissinger described as Kennedy's "soaring vision" of an Atlantic partnership based on twin pillars: Europe and America.

That partnership, I believe, is more important today than it has ever been.

The Treasury Department, through Economic Fury, has targeted Iran’s international shadow banking infrastructure, access to crypto, shadow fleet, weapons procurement networks, funding for terrorist proxies in the region, and independent Chinese “teapot” refineries that support Iran’s oil trade. These actions have disrupted tens of billions of dollars in revenue that would be used to fund terrorism.

Under President Trump's maximum pressure campaign, Tehran’s inflation has doubled and its currency has rapidly depreciated.

Kharg Island, Iran’s primary oil export terminal, is soon nearing storage capacity, which will force the regime to reduce oil production, resulting in an additional approximately $170 million per day in lost revenue, and causing permanent damage to Iran’s oil infrastructure.

Treasury will continue to exert maximum pressure and any person, vessel, or entity facilitating illicit flows to Tehran risks exposure to U.S. sanctions.
