Reports suggest that the European Union has only endorsed Washington’s economic campaign against Iran and is yet to officially join, despite the US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent saying it already has.
– “The EU welcomes efforts at ensuring that Iran ceases its destabilising activities and engages in peace negotiations with good faith, also through additional economic pressure, including through the US led Operation Economic Outcast,” said a statement on Monday.
– On Thursday evening, Bessent thanked the EU for joining the economic campaign, saying that the world was “sending a clear message to Iran”.
– However, the statement from the EU doesn’t clearly say that, but does state that the bloc remains “ready to take further measures, where necessary, to safeguard its security and interests”.
