Qalibaf: Bessent on the brink as oil reserves fall and bond yields surge
Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf has told US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent that his job is getting harder. He pointed to fast-shrinking strategic oil reserves and climbing US Treasury yields, with oil futures prices also surging. According to the Iranian state outlet IRNA, Ghalibaf said these pressures have left Bessent and President Donald Trump's administration in a difficult spot.
