'Rats Fleeing the Ship': Tens of Millions of Dollars Being Wired Out of Iran by Leadership
[PJ] U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on Newsmax, as the Jerusalem Post reported on Wednesday, that the Iranian leadership was wiring tens of millions of dollars out of the country.

"We are now seeing the rats fleeing the ship, because we can see millions, tens of millions of dollars being wired out of the country, snuck out of the country by the Iranian leadership," Bessent said. "So they are abandoning ship, and we are seeing it come into banks and financial institutions all over the world."

Not exactly a vote of confidence for the regime's future.

While the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) reports that the mass demonstrations like those of January 8-11 may have disappeared, Iran is like a simmering pot ready to boil over. The American Enterprise Institute's (AEI) Critical Threat Project (CTP), partnering with ISW, reports that the horrific slaughter carried out by regime forces and foreign militias on January 8-9 has been effective in clearing the streets, but the revolutionary fervor has not been dimmed. # id) ?>
