NewzIranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf publicly challenged US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent regarding recent claims about fuel exports. Ghalibaf characterized Bessent’s assertion—that the US successfully diverted 130 million barrels of Iranian fuel over a two-week period—as false, using the phrase "liar, liar, pants on fire" to dismiss the statement.
The exchange centers on conflicting narratives surrounding the effectiveness of US sanctions and maritime enforcement against Iran’s energy sector. Ghalibaf’s remarks serve as a direct rebuttal to the Treasury Secretary's claims of operational success in curbing Iranian fuel exports.
