According to Fox Tv, Fox News host Jesse Watters outlined what he described as escalating economic and military pressure on Iran during a recent broadcast, suggesting that combined naval and financial measures could soon severely disrupt the country’s oil revenues and state operations.
Watters claimed that continued pressure could force a shutdown of key energy infrastructure in the near future. “And in less than two weeks, they will have to shut their oil wells,” he said, predicting a rapid decline in Iran’s ability to sustain its energy exports.
He further argued that the loss of oil income would have immediate consequences for Iran’s internal stability, particularly its armed forces and public payroll system. “Once the money dries up, their military will miss paychecks and that could get ugly,” Watters stated, linking economic conditions to potential domestic instability.
Expanding on the broader strategy he described, Watters referenced what he called a coordinated financial enforcement effort led by U.S. authorities. “On top of the naval blockade, Treasury is unleashing Operation Economic Theory,” he said, suggesting a dual-track approach involving both military and financial pressure.
He went further in his characterization of the financial measures, using highly charged language to describe their intended impact. “We are going to bomb their bank accounts,” Watters said, referring to sanctions and restrictions targeting Iranian financial networks.
Watters’ comments come amid ongoing global attention on energy markets and maritime security, particularly in strategic waterways such as the Strait of Hormuz, through which a significant portion of global oil shipments passes.
