Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf responded to the rise in oil prices, saying that those who sought to punish Iran ended up punishing themselves, calling it a '10 out of 10' strategy. The statement was reported by Iranian Telegram channels.
Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf reacted to the recent rise in oil prices, asserting that the strategy of punishing Iran has backfired. 'They wanted to punish Iran, but they punished themselves. Strategy 10 out of 10,' he said in a statement reported by Iranian Telegram channels. The remarks come amid elevated oil prices, which have been a central element in the ongoing US-Iran confrontation. As The Zioneer has reported, oil prices surged above $93 a barrel in June after President Trump threatened Iran, and Ghalibaf has previously warned that any aggression would be met with a decisive response. The new statement echoes Tehran's narrative that economic pressure is not achieving its intended effect. The authenticity of the statement has not been independently verified, and the specific context of the oil price rise referenced is not detailed in the report.
