Iran Parliament Speaker MB Ghalibaf took a jibe at US President Donald Trump, saying no oil well exploded despite the latter’s warning and said the crude oil prices could touch USD 140 per barrel soon.
In a post on X, Ghalibaf said that the US administration gets “junk" advice from US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent for pushing the “blockade" theory.
“3 days in, no well exploded. We could extend to 30 and livestream the well here. That was the kind of junk advice the US admin gets from people like Bessent who also push the blockade theory and cranked oil up to $120+. Next stop:140. The issue isn’t the theory, it’s the mindset," the Speaker wrote.
