"Sorry, the president wants you right away. An aide off-camera interrupted Bessent during his interview with Wilfred Frost of Sky News, summoning him to the White House Situation Room while military operations against Iran were underway. The interruption occurred at 10:22 a.m., forcing Bessent to leave the interview mid-conversation."
"The Iranian mission is proceeding well ahead of schedule. You know, I have to tell you, Wil, that I've a teenager who's considering military service. And I could give this team my highest compliment from President Trump to the head of the Joint Chiefs, to the Secretary of War. I would trust my child's life in their hands."
"More than 1,300 Iranians have been killed, including Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and dozens of other top officials. Iran has responded by attacking Israel, U.S. military installations in the region, and effectively closing the vital Strait of Hormuz, which has roiled oil markets. Seven U.S. service members have been killed so far, with dozens wounded."
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent was interrupted during a Sky News interview on Thursday and summoned to the White House Situation Room amid ongoing military operations against Iran that began on February 28. The conflict, launched by President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu, has resulted in over 1,300 Iranian deaths including Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and numerous top officials. Iran has responded by attacking Israel, U.S. military installations, and effectively closing the Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping route for 20% of global oil exports. Seven U.S. service members have been killed with dozens wounded. At least 16 tankers and cargo ships have been struck, causing significant disruption to oil markets and global shipping.
