On August 20, local time, US Treasury Secretary Bessent said that he will hold a press conference on the 24th to detail America's action plan against Iran. US President Donald Trump warned on the 19th that any country providing “any kind of lifeline” to Iran would face economic consequences. Bessent said, “We have asymmetric information, and I'm not sure why the oil issue is the focus of attention. If we exert maximum economic pressure, it means that large-scale military conflict is unlikely to break out.”
