Bond vigilantes are back; how long can the Federal Reserve keep pretending to sleep this time?

The US-Iran conflict has driven up inflation expectations and US Treasury yields, potentially increasing US debt interest payments by billions of dollars.
ME News reports that oil prices and inflation concerns have pushed up U.S. Treasury yields, with the 10-year reaching 4.58%, the highest since 2007, and the 30-year also rising.
If maintained until the end of this fiscal year, interest expenses will increase by about $8 billion; if extended to the 2027 fiscal year, it will exceed $30 billion.
Market concerns over inflation and expanding deficits have triggered bond sell-offs, with the Federal Reserve's response seen as insufficient, and bond vigilantes reemerging.
The rise in long-term interest rates has also increased mortgage rates, and the market may discuss issuing more ultra-short bonds or restarting reverse repurchase operations.
