Scott Bessent says Iran understands 'brute force' as Trump weighs options amid nuclear standoff

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent discussed whether President Donald Trump may need to pull another Operation Midnight Hammer against Iran as its leadership refuses to negotiate over its nuclear program.

Joining "America Reports" Wednesday, Bessent discussed the U.S. economy, midterm elections and ongoing nuclear talks with Iran.

"What the Iranians understand is brute force, whether it's in the financial markets, whether it's on the military field and at Treasury, we have exercised maximum pressure," he told Fox News.
