Deep Tide TechFlow News, March 22 — According to Jin10 Data, U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen defended the U.S. and Israel’s attacks on Iran’s infrastructure, claiming “sometimes you have to escalate to de-escalate.” Not long ago, Trump threatened to close the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours and warned of destroying Iran’s power plants. Yellen defended Trump’s remarks, saying they are “the only language Iran understands.” She also discussed Iran’s key oil production hub, Kharg Island, stating “all options are under consideration,” including deploying U.S. troops to control the island. Yellen also justified the decision to relax some sanctions on Iran, claiming it is a form of “judo,” using Iran’s own oil to counter them.
