Iranian Speaker Ghalibaf Uses English X Posts to Warn US on Economic Costs of Confrontation

Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf has shifted to English-language messaging on X aimed at the American public, using financial market terminology to highlight the economic costs of confronting Iran and casting doubt on the Trump administration's ability to manage consequences. This marks a deliberate rhetorical escalation targeting US domestic audiences, likely signaling Tehran's intent to deter further pressure. The effectiveness and reception of this messaging remain uncertain.
