# US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says the Iranian regime will lose the zero-sum game it is playing. The US and Iran traded strikes for a second consecutive day on Wednesday. Bessent has warned that any damage Tehran inflicts on American allies in the Gulf will be paid for with funds extracted from Iranian accounts. He also warned that any tolls paid to the Persian Gulf Strait Authority, a new body set up by Iran to control the Strait of Hormuz, will be offset by Iranian funds.
