United KingdomIran's Parliament Speaker, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, publicly mocked U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent after he claimed the U.S. guided 130 million barrels of oil out of Iranian waters over 14 days. Ghalibaf used the phrase 'liar, liar, pants on fire' to dismiss Bessent's assertion, referencing economic data from Moody's and Jane Street to challenge the claim. He also criticized U.S. sovereign debt markets, stating 'liar, liar, yields on fire.' The post was shared on social media and included links to supporting financial reports.
Bias read (Progressive): The article frames the U.S. Treasury Secretary's claim as misleading and highlights economic data that undermines the claim, aligning with a critical perspective toward U.S. policies. The tone suggests skepticism towards U.S. assertions and supports Iran's position through cited financial reports.
