US Treasury Secretary Scott Bisping said Iran is taking American sanctions seriously.

Bisping made the statement while addressing journalists at a meeting of G20 finance ministers and central bank governors in North Carolina.

He added that Tehran is now responding forcefully because it is suffering economic losses.

"I believe they are responding strongly because they are losing economically," Bisping said.

The US secretary emphasized that Washington will continue applying pressure on Iran.

Earlier today, US President Donald Trump, in an interview with the American news network Fox News, indicated a response to Iranian attacks against American targets.
