Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf has publicly disputed assertions made by US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent regarding the current state of the American economy. Responding to claims that the US is entering a period of significant growth and potential oil price declines, Ghalibaf utilized social media to highlight what he describes as escalating financial challenges facing Washington. The Iranian official cited several factors to support his skepticism, including rising domestic fuel costs, shifts in Japanese holdings of US Treasury securities, and difficulties regarding military recruitment. Ghalibaf specifically questioned the sustainability of current Federal Reserve policies and the impact of national debt levels. This exchange follows recent comments by Bessent, who suggested that the US economy is poised for a major expansion while predicting a drop in global oil prices following the resolution of regional conflicts.
