Ghalibaf rejects US claim that Iran's unfrozen assets will be spent on US goods
Iran's top negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf has said that US claims that Iran will spend its unfrozen assets to buy US agricultural products were false.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent echoed President Donald Trump on Wednesday and insisted that a large percentage of Iran's unfrozen assets would be used to buy US foods and medicine, even as Iran said it would determine its spending.
"America falsely claims our unfrozen assets will buy their agriculture. Interesting," Ghalibaf wrote on X.
"The only crop we're harvesting is what you planted: decades of mistrust. It's organic, abundant, and homegrown. But apparently the US only exports GMO soybeans, broken promises and trash talks."
