🇮🇷😎 Check the US debt clock: Iran flips Bessent’s scoreboard
Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf turned Bessent’s victory taunting into a ticking-clock gag.
The US Treasury chief had claimed Iran would have “nothing left to trade” in two weeks - only ~15M oil barrels still headed to China.
Ghalibaf fired back with a satirical scoreboard, pointing out that the US’ own debt clock is the real countdown.
His ‘Trajectory of Stress on the House’:
➡️maturing debt + fresh borrowing collide with jumpy yields
➡️Fed is boxed in, and foreign buyers and dealers are thinning out
➡️Iran’s levers are energy, bonds, and pressure on the Fed
➡️squeeze runs through November’s midterms and into 2027
Ghalibaf’s visual showed Bessent as Wile E. Coyote, hypnotized by a pocket watch, and strolling off a cliff.
