U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told reporters on April 15 that any country doing business with Iran could face U.S. sanctions. He said that two Chinese banks have already been warned that if the U.S. Treasury can prove that there is Iranian money flowing through the banks' accounts, the U.S. government is "willing to put on secondary sanctions."
