Iran’s Parliament Speaker, Baqir Qalibaf, has rejected claims by the United States that Tehran will use its unfrozen assets to purchase American agricultural products.

In a social media post, Qalibaf stated that the US was making false claims. He added that the only American ‘crop’ Iran has seen is ‘distrust’.

The statement follows assertions from Washington that a deal to unfreeze $12 billion of Iranian assets would require the funds to be used exclusively for purchasing US agricultural goods, such as corn, soybeans, and wheat, as well as medicines. US officials had indicated the funds would be held in a special account monitored by Qatar.

The Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and chief negotiator Qalibaf have clarified that Iran will decide independently how and where to spend its funds, based on market prices and quality, not on US dictation.

In a new development regarding Iran’s unfrozen assets, former US President Donald Trump has reportedly announced that the United States will buy agricultural products from Iran.

In a further statement regarding unfrozen assets, Iranian Parliament Speaker Baqir Qalibaf said the United States appears to only export “soybeans, broken promises, and bitter statements.” He reiterated that claims of Iran purchasing American agricultural products are baseless, adding that the only crop Iran has reaped from the US is “decades of mistrust.”
