Trump: Iran ‘Ready to Fold Up’ — Bessent: Regime Loaded ‘ZERO’ Crude Oil in September
Joshua Klein1 Oct 2026274
President Donald Trump said Thursday that Iran is “ready to fold up” as Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced that Tehran loaded “ZERO” crude oil onto tankers in September, the latest sign of the administration’s campaign to cut off the regime’s most critical source of revenue.
“We have a war going on with a country that will never have a nuclear weapon and is ready to fold up,” Trump said during remarks in Denton, Texas. “We’ll win very easily right now.”
Bessent offered a stark measure of that economic deterioration Thursday, announcing that “Iran loaded ZERO crude oil onto tankers in September.”
“The Trump Administration is cutting off the Iranian regime’s most critical source of revenue,” Bessent said, adding that Operation Economic Outcast is “severing the economic lifelines that have allowed Tehran to finance its terrorist agenda.”
