Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, speaker of Iran’s parliament and chief negotiator with US, mocked the US over surging energy costs on X.

“They wanted to punish Iran,” he wrote. “Punished themselves with triple-digit oil instead. 10/10 strategy,” with three applause emojis.

The post carried a cartoon of a cyclist labeled “World/US economy” jamming a stick into his own wheel under the caption “Let’s blockade Iran, Easy Peasy,” then sprawled on the pavement beside a list of $150 oil, global recession, $7 gasoline and 10% mortgages, ending with the bicyclist blaming Iran: “Iran did this.”

Brent crude jumped 7.2% Thursday to $100.88, its first time above $100 in two months, after Ansar Allah struck two Saudi tankers in the Red Sea. Just two weeks ago it sat below $72. Goldman Sachs says it could reach $120 by the fourth quarter if Hormuz stays disrupted.

US gasoline has climbed from under $3 in February to over $4, a figure Democrats raised repeatedly at this week’s Senate hearing on war funding.
