SAEDNEWS: Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf responded to US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s remarks by sharing an economic meme and writing, “Are you ready for it to possess your soul?”
According to Saednews, In this image, charts covering everything from oil and diesel prices to consumer confidence and housing affordability come together to form the shape of a ghost. The message is clear: you don’t have to wait until Halloween for a scare—sometimes, simply opening the business section is enough.
David Zervos, Bessent’s new special adviser and a vocal supporter of interest-rate cuts, can also be seen in the background. He is the same person who once vowed not to cut his hair until the Federal Reserve lowered interest rates.
Ghalibaf’s remarks came after Bessent claimed that Operation Economic Outcast was delivering results. The Iranian rial has fallen to record lows, Iran loaded no crude oil onto tankers last month, and even the country’s top security official has acknowledged that Iran is going through one of the most difficult periods in its history.
