‘Did Biden Start Iran War? Who Shut Hormuz?’: Scott Bessent STUNNED; Trump’s Economy Bubble BURSTS

Rep. Ritchie Torres tore into Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent during a House hearing after Bessent invoked Joe Biden while defending the Trump administration’s economic record. Torres challenged him over stagnant real wage growth, the widening Wall Street–Main Street divide and the administration’s repeated attempts to blame Biden for current economic pain.

Torres then turned to the Iran war, asking whether Biden started the conflict, disrupted the Strait of Hormuz or shut down a major share of global oil and LNG exports. The exchange came as the Iran conflict continues to drive energy and inflation concerns, intensifying scrutiny of Trump’s handling of the economy.
