Qalibaf Criticizes Beasant Over Lies
The article focused on the reaction of the Speaker of the Iranian Parliament, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, to the statements made by U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent regarding oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz. Ghalibaf accused Bessent of providing misleading figures, pointing out that the United States shipped around 130 million barrels of oil over 14 days, while Iran reportedly did not export any quantities through the strait, according to Bessent's claims. He also criticized U.S. policies in the energy market, citing figures that exceeded $130 billion in war costs and losses of approximately $130 million for Genaire Street company due to bets on falling oil prices. In response, he reposted a critical article by economist Paul Krugman about the American statements, clarifying that tensions around the Strait of Hormuz have led to a slowdown in ship movements and an escalation of military and economic tensions between Washington and Tehran.
