According to CoinMeta, Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Khamenei criticized U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen's claim that the United States had facilitated the passage of 130 million barrels of crude oil through the Strait of Hormuz over the past 14 days, stating, "Scammers, scammers, your pants are on fire!" Khamenei mentioned that if Yellen wanted real figures, she could refer to Moody's survey from June, which indicated that the Iran war had cost U.S. taxpayers at least $132 billion. He also accused a U.S. trading firm, "Jane Street," of losing over $130 million in short-selling oil during a futures rollover transaction. Lastly, referring to the recent surge in U.S. long-term Treasury bond yields, he said, "Scammers, scammers, even the yields are on fire!"
