Mocking US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent over his claim that the US "guided 130 million barrels out over the past 14 days" against Iran's "zero", Iran's Speaker of Parliament Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf declared, "Liar, liar, pants on fire." He reposted Nobel laureate economist Paul Krugman's article titled "Scott Bessent Fails to Gaslight the Market," in which Krugman criticized Bessent's market management and policy credibility.
Ghalibaf then turned his attention to US sovereign debt markets, tweeting, "Liar, liar, yields on fire." He urged Bessent to retract Moody's report indicating $130+ billion in war costs and questioned the extent of Jane Street's shorting of oil for the US in a single futures roll.
