Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, the Speaker of the Iranian Parliament, has publicly ridiculed recent statements made by US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. The criticism centers on Bessent's assertions regarding American economic growth and his prediction that global oil prices could decline to $40 per barrel ahead of the upcoming US midterm elections. Ghalibaf dismissed these economic projections, signaling skepticism toward the US official's outlook on energy markets and domestic fiscal performance. This exchange highlights ongoing tensions and differing perspectives between Iranian leadership and US financial policymakers regarding global commodity trends and economic stability.
