Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen is preparing fresh sanctions for Iran, vowing that the U.S. “will not hesitate” to inflict economic punishment in response to the Islamic Republic’s unprecedented attack on Israel.
Why it matters: President Biden is urging Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to exercise military restraint. But in the economic sphere, the administration is demonstrating a willingness to retaliate against Iran.
Yes, absolutely. Let’s do everything we can to make the average Iranian people hate us more than ever while doing absolutely nothing to hurt their leaders. For an attack visited upon them first by one of our allies because that makes total sense. /s. This kind of shit makes me sorry to be a US citizen.
