Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, speaker of Iran’s Islamic Consultative Assembly, posted a clip on X of Homer Simpson filling up his RV at a gas station. The total cost climbs past $999, and Homer cheers for “free gas” as the ticker turns over to triple zeros.
Ghalibaf posted the short clip in response to a Bloomberg report about gas retailing for $9.99 a gallon in San Diego.
The post was also made at a time when Trump has predicted that the Iran skirmish will end quickly after the midterm elections in November. Trump has also touted the U.S. military’s dominance in the fight as Iranian officials vow they won’t surrender.
