The US Treasury Department announced the continuation of the policy of maximum pressure on Iran.

The U.S. Treasury Department intends to continue its policy of maximum economic pressure on Iran. This was announced on April 21 by the head of the department, Scott Bessent.

"Under the leadership of President Trump, as part of the Economic Fury program, the Treasury Department will continue to monitor cash flows and pursue the recklessness of the Iranian regime and those who condone it," Bessent said on the website of the press service of the US Treasury.

He also added that Iran must be held accountable for allegedly extorting global energy markets and firing rockets at civilians.

Trump allowed the resumption of hostilities after the expiration of the ceasefire

On April 21, the head of the White House, Donald Trump, extended the ceasefire in the conflict with Iran at the request of Pakistan until the submission of Tehran's proposals and the completion of the negotiation process. According to him, the US military in the Middle East region remains on alert, and the naval blockade of Iranian ports continues. Prior to this, the American leader reported that the United States expects the bombing of Iran to continue, as this will improve Washington's position in negotiations with Tehran.
