\n Iran\u2019s Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf <\/p>\n

Iran\u2019s Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf has taken aim at\u00a0rising US borrowing costs and fuel-price pressures referring to the 10-year US Treasury yield reaching 5.1 percent.<\/p>\n

\u201cHappy 5.1% 10Y America. Mashallah. Celebrate: it\u2019s the floor two years out,\u201d Qalibaf wrote in a post on X on Thursday.<\/p>\n

He went on to draw a comparison with the economic conditions of the 1970s, linking higher interest rates with fuel prices and diesel shortages.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou wanted Iran dragged back to 1970s? Nobody told you Iran isn\u2019t for arrogant amateurs?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n

\u00a0He further wrote, \u201cWe\u2019ll return you to 1970s rates, plus high gas prices, diesel shortages and bell-bottoms. Enjoy the nostalgia!.\u201d<\/p>\n

The yield on US 10-year Treasury bonds has returned to its highest level since 2007, while the yield on 30-year Treasury bonds has reached 5.4 percent, its highest level since 2004.<\/p>\n

Qalibaf\u2019s remarks come\u00a0amid growing pressure on the US administration over the performance of the Treasury and energy markets.<\/p>\n

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has pursued buyback operations in the US Treasury market, particularly involving 10-year bonds, in an effort to bring down long-term yields and reduce borrowing costs ahead of the midterm elections.<\/p>\n

However, the bond market has largely resisted the intervention, with yields remaining elevated or even increasing. Critics, including veteran Wall Street figures such as Stanley Druckenmiller, have questioned the effectiveness of the measures and warned of growing market risks.<\/p>\n

The United States has also drawn heavily on its Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) after Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz due to the US-Israeli aggression which began on February 28.<\/p>\n

Washington had been counting on psychological pressure and assurances about the reopening of the southern shipping route through Hormuz to bring down futures prices.<\/p>\n

The combination of elevated bond yields, sharply reduced strategic oil reserves and rising oil futures prices has created mounting pressure on Bessent and the Trump administration.<\/p>\n
