# Iranian leader warns of crisis as US yields hit highs

Geopolitical jab: Iran’s Ghalibaf used rising U.S. borrowing costs to criticize Washington’s debt and military spending near the Strait of Hormuz. Debt strain risk: With debt near $39 trillion, even modestly higher yields could push interest costs to record levels, crowding out other budget priorities. Market implications: Higher Treasury yields are lifting borrowing costs across mortgages, corporate loans, and consumer credit, while inflation pressures remain elevated.
