Ghalibaf mocks US funding ‘failed TV host’ Hegseth

TEHRAN, May 15 (MNA) – Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf has mocked the US for paying record-high interest rates to fund Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, calling him a “failed TV host” playing “war minister” near the Strait of Hormuz.

In a post on his X account on Friday, Ghalibaf said, “So you’re funding Hegseth the failed TV host at rates unheard of since 2007, so he can cosplay as Secretary of War in our backyard in Hormuz?”

He emphasized, “You know what’s crazier than $39 trillion in debt? Paying a pre-GFC premium to fund a LARP and all you'll get is a brand new GFC”.
