Ghalibaf to US: Enjoy 1970s rates, gas prices

Iran's Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf mocked the United States on X as the benchmark US 10-year Treasury yield surged past 5.1%, warning Washington that its war on Iran would return Americans to the economic conditions of the 1970s.

Hawzah News Agency- "Happy 5.1% 10Y America. Mashallah. Celebrate: it's the floor two years out," Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf wrote.

Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, who also serves as Iran's lead negotiator, attached a cartoon collage aimed at US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. It set Bessent's recent boast that he was "the house" against a string of headlines about soaring Treasury yields and turmoil in the bond market, depicting a cartoon coyote confidently pushing a detonator before being blackened by the blast.

Ghalibaf's reference to diesel shortages comes as President Trump backed a ban on US diesel exports on Tuesday, adding to concerns about tight fuel supplies and higher energy prices.
