Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf has responded to recent remarks by US President Donald Trump, publishing what he described as an “economic game model of cards” between Iran and the United States, in which he suggested that Washington, not Tehran, is running out of leverage.
In a post on X, the speaker argued that Iran still retains significant options, Caliber.Az reports.
“They brag about the cards. Let's see: Supply Cards= Demand Cards
SOH (partly played)+BEM(unplayed)+Pipelines(unplayed)= Inv Release (played)+Demand Destruction (partly played)+⏳More Price Adj (to come),” the post read.
Ghalibaf added a final ironic remark, suggesting that rising US energy demand during the summer holiday season could also be included in the equation — “unless they cancel it.”
