Amit Kaul – For Digital Desk, Bengaluru: April 20, 2026 – Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf has criticized US Treasury bonds, calling their safe-haven status “nothing but pretense.” In a post on X, he argued that such assets appear reliable only on paper, similar to speculative “digital oil” trading. Ghalibaf added that while oil markets rely on benchmarks like Dated Brent, US bonds lack tangible backing. His remarks challenge long-standing investor confidence in Treasuries, especially during geopolitical uncertainty and shifting risk dynamics in global financial markets.
